Exelon/FCEL CRADA is complete and the TEA has been provided. Now let’s compare those results to PEM and let the economics provide direction. Did you see how many HTSE cells are required to build out a singular facility?
A single 1,000 megawatt nuclear reactor could produce more than 200,000 tonnes of hydrogen each year.
Existing nuclear plants could produce high quality steam at lower costs than natural gas boilers and could be used in many industrial processes, including steam-methane reforming.
However, the case for nuclear becomes even more compelling when this high-quality steam is electrolyzed and split into pure hydrogen and oxygen.
