NPHyCo presented at SNETP Forum

On 18 April 2024, Canet Serin (Framatome GmbH) attended the SNETP Forum in Rome (Italy) in order to present the NPHyCo project.

As part of her intervention, she gave an overview of the aims of NPHyCo. In this respect she drew attention to some of the challenges which the EU is fading in terms of decarbonising its economy and how hydrogen, produced from nuclear, can help tackle these challenges.  

Furthermore, she outlined the goals of the project, including:

• The potential for developing large scale, low-carbon, hydrogen production facilities linked to nuclear power plants.
  
• Assessment of the feasibility of producing hydrogen near an existing nuclear power plant as well as the added value of such project.
  
• Analysis of potential off-takers (e.g. steel, iron, fertilizer and petrochemical industry) and transportation routes.
  
• Overview of potential locations where a pilot project could be implemented.  ​​

In addition to this presentation, NPHyCo also had an exhibit in the coffee area, allowing participants to come and find out more about the project.
