NuScale Power Corporation announced new research programs aimed at advancing an integrated energy system to provide clean water and energy-efficient hydrogen production. By coupling their Power Module™ with a reverse osmosis desalination system, NuScale can potentially produce 150 million gallons of clean water per day without emitting carbon dioxide. The company's innovative approach also addresses the environmental challenge of brine production by utilizing leftover brine as industrial feedstock for hydrogen production. Collaborating with the U.S. Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, NuScale developed a method to produce hydrogen from inert salt extracted from desalination byproducts. This approach does not rely on water electrolysis, reducing energy and water consumption while cutting costs. The research, presented at the World Petrochemical Conference, showcases progress in desalination and carbon-free hydrogen production. NuScale's Co-Founder, Dr. José Reyes, highlights the significance of their breakthrough innovation in simultaneously tackling water scarcity, brine remediation, and clean hydrogen production. The company's Integrated Energy System simulator in Corvallis, Oregon, enables dynamic evaluation and optimization of hydrogen production configurations, supporting industrial applications. As a leading provider of small modular reactor nuclear technology, NuScale aims to contribute to the global energy transition by delivering safe, reliable, and carbon-free energy solutions. The company's certified SMR designs by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission position them to provide nuclear energy for various purposes, including commercial-scale hydrogen production, desalination, and district heating.
