Hydrogen Production Using Nuclear Reactor Heat Could Make Japan a Global Energy Pioneer
Japan is getting ready to make history by becoming the first country to use nuclear reactor heat for large-scale hydrogen production. This bold move comes from a partnership between the Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA) and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI). Together, they’re working on a groundbreaking project that uses high-temperature gas-cooled reactors (HTGRs) and the iodine-sulfur (IS) thermochemical process to produce hydrogen without spewing out carbon—an exciting milestone in the push for serious industrial decarbonization.
