EU Nuclear Push Opens Door For More Pink Hydrogen

The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on H2-View.

These four paragraphs introduce the article.

The European Commission has given a renewed push to nuclear development, which may open the door for more pink hydrogen.

Direct, large-scale pink hydrogen production in Europe is currently very limited, as the industry is still in its pilot and policy-alignment phase. Over 95% of European hydrogen is still produced from fossil fuels, primarily through steam methane reforming.

Speaking at the Nuclear Energy Summit, President Ursula von der Leyen pledged €200m to support private investment in nuclear technologies and unveiled a new European strategy for small modular reactors with the aim that they are operational by the early 2030s. Funding will come from the Emissions Trading System.

“After years of declining investment, we need more to turn the tide,” she said.

It is certainly an article worth giving a good read, as it is a view from the very top.
