APPLICATION OF NUCLEAR-PRODUCED HYDROGEN FOR ENERGY AND INDUSTRIAL USE Application of nuclear-produced hydrogen for energy and industrial use Masao Hori Nuclear Systems Association Japan Abstract Hydrogen can be produced from water by thermochemical processes using nuclear heat or by electrochemical processes using nuclear electricity, or by “hybrid” processes combining both processes. As these nuclear water-splitting processes make it possible to produce hydrogen without any carbon dioxide emissions, they are mainstream methods to supply hydrogen as an energy carrier or as a feed material for industrial processes. Another method of producing hydrogen using nuclear energy is by the steam reforming/gasification reaction of fossil fuels or biomass, in which nuclear heat is supplied for the endothermic reaction heat, thus reducing the feed materials to be combusted for heat. Because of its advantages in economic competitiveness and in technical feasibility, this method will be utilised in various applications in spite of some CO 2 emissions. Nuclear hydrogen is expected to be used in diverse fields in the future, where appropriate production methods are to be chosen according to the application. In this presentation, the following possible applications of nuclear hydrogen in prospective fields are reviewed: • Oil/fuel industry: Upgrading of bitumen from oil sands using hydrogen produced by the nuclear-heated steam reforming of a portion of the product. • Steel/chemical industry: Nuclear iron making by recirculation of CO formed from the reverseshift reaction of effluent CO 2 with nuclear produced hydrogen by the water-splitting. • Electric utility: Synergistic power generation using both fossil and nuclear energies through electrochemical energy conversion in a fuel cell using hydrogen from the nuclear-heated steam reforming of natural gas. • Restoration of global environment: Nuclear carbonisation/gasification of biomass to stabilise a portion of carbon in biomass as solid carbon and to convert the remaining carbon to synthetic fuels using nuclear hydrogen, thus effectively removing CO 2 from atmosphere.
