A recent study by Dutch nuclear energy development company ULC-Energy has revealed that hydrogen can be produced at a cost of €3.50 per kilogram using a combination of solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC) and small modular reactors (SMRs). The study, conducted in partnership with Denmark's Topsoe, the UK's Rolls-Royce SMR, and Dutch consultancy KYOS, aims to explore the production of hydrogen using Topsoe's SOEC technology and heat and electricity from a Rolls-Royce SMR nuclear power plant. The investigation also includes assessing the operational flexibility of the Rolls-Royce SMR combined with Topsoe's SOEC technology in the future energy market. ULC-Energy's CEO, Dirk Rabelink, emphasized the importance of clean hydrogen production in decarbonization efforts and highlighted nuclear energy's potential role in this process. He stated that the study demonstrates nuclear energy's capability to deliver low-cost, clean hydrogen at an industrial scale. Rolls-Royce SMR's director, Alan Woods, echoed these sentiments, underlining the advantage of the SMR in producing affordable and reliable clean energy while being able to adapt to meet demand fluctuations in the energy market. Rolls-Royce has been making strides in expanding its SMR business, as evidenced by the recent approval from the Polish Ministry of Climate and Environment for Polish industrial group Industria's plan to construct a power plant based on Rolls-Royce's SMR. The study's findings and the growing interest in SMRs indicate a promising future for nuclear energy in the production of clean hydrogen and other clean fuels.
