Nucleareurope, a European nuclear trade organization, released a position paper highlighting the potential of EU-based hydrogen production to address energy security, environmental concerns, and economic competitiveness. The Director General, Yves Desbazeille, emphasized the crucial role of hydrogen as a clean energy carrier in transforming the energy system. The paper criticizes the EU's current focus on renewable hydrogen imported from third countries and suggests leveraging low-carbon energy sources like nuclear to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. It points out that nuclear-based hydrogen production can optimize electrolysers' efficiency by coupling them with nuclear power plants, offering a reliable and continuous supply of low-carbon hydrogen. The recommendations stress the need for a diversified approach to hydrogen production, reduction of dependence on imported hydrogen, support for domestic hydrogen industries, strategic investments in infrastructure, and R&D initiatives to enhance production efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The EU is advised to prioritize energy sovereignty, collaborate across sectors, and implement policies that promote domestic hydrogen production, storage, and distribution, ultimately advancing sustainability and competitiveness in the hydrogen sector.
