"Missing Link": Could nuclear power up the clean hydrogen industry?

Business Green

September 14, 2020

A new report by LucidCatalyst argues that with demand for clean hydrogen set to boom, the nascent modular reactor industry could have a key role to play in meeting surging demand. The world can meet the Paris climate goals and save "trillions" of dollars by building a new generation of modular nuclear reactors to create clean hydrogen, the report suggests. Terra Praxis is disseminating this report.

Nuclear power and hydrogen ‘may cut climate change’

The Sunday Times

September 13, 2020

This article features the Missing Link report about how to tackle the difficult-to-decarbonize sectors to achieve net zero by 2050. LucidCatalyst authored the report and Terra Praxis is disseminating it. Using nuclear power to generate hydrogen could help limit global warming and clean up heavy industries, a report has claimed. Hydrogen is rapidly turning into the holy grail for environmentalists and big oil companies alike, because the only by-product of its combustion is water. The government is committed to the UK achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

September 2, 2020

The nuclear industry today set out an ambitious framework to cut the cost of constructing new power stations in the UK. In a new report, a cross-industry team, working as part of the Government-backed Nuclear Sector Deal, set out the key factors to reduce risk and bring down costs by 30% by 2030. Terra Praxis partner organization, LucidCatalyst was part of the team.
