Latest updates from the NPHyCo project

In May 2023, representatives from the project attended the SNETP Forum which ran from 15 until 17 May in Gothenburg, Sweden. Nuclear cogeneration (including hydrogen as well as heat and steam) featured very prominently during the forum this year. Furthermore, participants agreed that the decarbonisation targets will not be met without nuclear, and that as a result many countries, downstream users and industries are showing a keen interest in this technology. The NPHyCo project was presented via a poster exhibition.

Following on from this, NPHyCo partners attended the "Journée Hydrogène et problématiques matériaux" which took place on 1 June in Lyon, France. This event focused primarily on R&D and scientific developments. In terms of hydrogen, most of the attention was on its interaction with other materials (eg pipelines and storage). On behalf of NPHyCo, Framatome GmbH presented the project to participants.
