Doosan prepares for nuclear hydrogen production

The company is joining a major project to demonstrate a facility using steam from a power plant.South Korean Doosan Group holding company, the Doosan Corporation, is entering into a major project with the intention of demonstrating nuclear hydrogen production using the steam produced at a power plant in an eastern port town in the country.This production method results in what is also known as red H2 because electrolysis is powered by the plant.The nuclear hydrogen production demonstration will involve a solid oxide electrolyzer cell (SOEC) which runs in regenerative mode to electrolyze water using a ceramic or solid oxide electrolyte for the production of H2 and oxygen. Solid oxide electrolyzer cells are based on high-temperature electrolysis (usually between 500ºC and 850ºC). This method powered by a nuclear power plant is what designates this type of H2 as red, though it is…
