More about the news
- Nuclear energy provides the necessary electricity for the electrolysis process, splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.
- Alternatively, the high temperatures generated by nuclear reactors can be utilized in other hydrogen production methods, such as steam methane reforming or more efficient electrolysis.
- Pink Hydrogen is part of a spectrum of hydrogen types, including Green Hydrogen (produced from renewable energy sources) and Blue Hydrogen (produced from natural gas with carbon capture and storage).
- Each type of hydrogen production has its own advantages and considerations regarding environmental impact, energy efficiency, and cost.
