Canada has allocated CAD $4.9m to fund the development of two nuclear-powered hydrogen-based e-fuel projects aimed at producing low-carbon synthetic diesel and sustainable aviation fuels for the country's transport sector. The projects involve collaborations between Natural Resources Canada, Nuclear Laboratories, Expander Energy, Nuclear Promise X, St. Marys Cement, and FuelCell Energy to leverage hydrogen generated from FuelCell Energy's solid oxide electrolysers powered by nuclear energy. These initiatives also incorporate direct air capture and industrial carbon capture technologies to supply CO2 for the production of e-fuels. One key aspect of the projects is the production of synthesis gas through electrolysis of water and CO2, utilizing a 5kW FuelCell Energy electrolyser at a St. Marys Cement facility. Upon successful completion of the pilot phase, the partners plan to design a large-scale facility for e-fuel production. FuelCell Energy's CEO highlighted the project's 100% electrical efficiency achieved through the use of nuclear power. Additionally, a separate project aims to produce 30 million liters of synthetic diesel annually using biomass and high-temperature steam electrolysis. Canadian Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Jonathan Wilkinson, emphasized the significance of these initiatives in advancing clean fuel production and supporting Canada's clean energy future. The article also discusses a recent breakthrough in nuclear fusion in the US, where hydrogen played a central role. While the experiment demonstrated the potential of nuclear fusion for energy production, commercial viability is still in the future. Nevertheless, experts believe fusion could complement hydrogen production in the coming years. The development of nuclear energy and its potential role in the transition to cleaner fuels have rekindled discussions on the significance of nuclear power in the energy landscape.
