Abstract:
Energy has been recognized globally as one of the most important inputs for economic growth and human development. Economic growth implies the availability of energy sources that are cost-effective and environmentally sound. A future energy economy will need to replace oil and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) to protect the climate. Global interest in hydrogen as a clean fuel has led to research, development and demonstration activities whose main goal is to move from a "carbon dioxide" to a clean, emission-free energy structure. Hydrogen is one of the most important sources that can replace fossil fuels and can provide a link between electricity and liquid fuels markets. It can be generated from excess electricity produced by technologies with low operating costs and even store the need. Hydrogen produced from off-peak electricity can be used in premium markets where the unique properties of hydrogen add value. The peak electricity production of today's hydrogen can be supplied from gas turbines, which can be replaced in the future with high-temperature fuel cell plants and/or liquid hydrogen vapor generator cycles. Nuclear power, with no emissions from airborne pollutants, appears to be the best option for large-scale H2 production. This work analyzed the modern methods used to produce hydrogen from nuclear reactors, the methods of storage, the transport and the safety standards used in this field. Using the software approved by Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the cost of producing, transporting and storing of hydrogen are computed.
