The energy industry's interest in low carbon hydrogen is building fast, and the nuclear industry reckons it could yet have a crucial role to play. There may be on-going debates about how best to use hydrogen - should it be deployed to heat buildings, provide energy storage, decarbonise heavy industry, or fuel trains and planes?

Shell's much-discussed Sky scenario from 2018, which charts a path to meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement, forecasts nuclear and fossil fuels each accounting for roughly 11 percent of Europe's mix in 2050. “In some hard-to-abate sectors, like heavy-duty transport, we see a role for gases, namely hydrogen.".

This needs to happen fast, with coal phased out no later than 2030 and gas not far behind. Once this largest source of carbon emissions is greened up, the second-largest, transportation, can tap renewable energy via electric vehicles. France built nuclear power. Iceland tapped geothermal. The US ultimately found fracking.

In a previous article , I analyzed the carbon footprint of producing hydrogen from fossil fuels. That is how over 95% of the world’s hydrogen is currently produced. To recap, the carbon footprint of hydrogen production from natural gas in a steam methane reformer (SMR) is higher than from directly burning the natural gas.
