The fledgling hydrogen industry is expanding fast, and now nuclear operators are joining renewables developers in exploring how they could play a critical role in delivering zero emission hydrogen at large scale. The roadmap also emphasises the role that advanced modular reactors (AMRs) could play in powering green hydrogen production.

Given the totemic green grid target is just 13 years away, and the decarbonisation of the grid represents the backbone of the UK's entire 2050 net zero project, it is hard to underestimate this particular mission. Moreover, for climate and energy security reasons, a net zero power grid is essentially non-negotiable.
