Green Hydrogen Fuel from PBRs
Tuesday, December 13, 2005
"Generation of hydrogen has been the biggest stumbling block to it adoption as a clean fuel. Hydrogen, found primarily in water, is expensive to extract as a gas. While the technical problems of handling, storage and use as fuel are largely solved, the high energy cost to produce hydrogen has made it an energy transport medium, not a source.New Pebble Bed Modular Reactors run at high temperatures which are perfect for cracking abundant water or helium gas into hydrogen which can then be used as a green fuel – burning hydrogen just produces water vapor. PBRs could produce cheap hydrogen that could be piped to areas of need or used in the local communities." Source: physorg.com
