Bringing hydrogen and nuclear together
Nuclear generates always-on, low-carbon power and for years has provided around 20% of the UK’s electricity. Hydrogen only produces water when it burns and has great potential as a clean fuel for transport, industry, and home heating.
One of the best ways of producing hydrogen is by splitting water molecules using an electrolyser. Using low-carbon nuclear energy to power the electrolyser means we can produce hydrogen which has no carbon emissions.
Nuclear and hydrogen are both big priorities for the Government and are referenced in the Great British Energy founding statement.
