With the first wave of the energy transition, renewable energy sources (such as solar and wind) have begun replacing coal power generation. However, some sectors are lagging behind and struggling to decarbonize more than others, including large-scale transportation like commercial aviation, shipping, and rail transit. Electrofuels (aka eFuels) are the next generation of solutions to help the hardest-to-abate sectors pivot from their reliance on fossil fuels.

H2 can be used carbon emission-free, but the way it is produced can make a difference A few years ago, we published a list of the most common hydrogen colors on Hydrogen Fuel News. That said, since that time, the understanding and use of H2 has evolved, adding new shades to the list. Categories of H2 Before getting started, it’s important to note that not everyone agrees that hydrogen colors are an important area to place a focus.

New nuclear reactors exploit heat in fluids such as molten salts, liquid sodium, or helium gas. Their red-hot temperatures in the range of 650-800C puts nearly 50% more of the reactor’s fission energy into electric energy than conventional PWRs at 300C put in steam systems of conventional turbines. High heat from these reactors is the new benefit of nuclear power.
