The International Energy Agency (IEA) in its latest World Energy Outlook (WEO), published on 13 October, says transition to a clean energy system is progressing too slowly for the world to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. However, the report provides analysis of how the world can still move towards a pathway that would have a good chance of limiting global warming to 1.5°C but sees no key role for nuclear power.

IAEA meeting examines potential for emerging technology The meeting was held to discuss innovations in the production and use of nuclear hydrogen. Courtesy A. Tahri/IAEA. Nuclear hydrogen can be a “game changer” in the fight against climate change by decarbonising heavy industry, energy storage and even synthetic fuel production as part of a clean energy transition, a side event at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s general conference in Vienna was told.

Mikhail Chudakov, IAEA deputy director-general and head of the department of nuclear energy, said in his opening remarks at the event – held to discuss innovations in the production and use of nuclear hydrogen – that a single 1,000 MW nuclear power reactor could produce more than 200,000 tonnes of hydrogen each year to fuel more than 400,000 fuel cell vehicles or more than 16,000 long haul fuel cell trucks.

Delegates explored developments in the coupling of nuclear power reactors with hydrogen production plants to efficiently produce both electricity and hydrogen as a cogeneration system, as well as how energy sector cooperation, supply chain and policy support are facilitating the progress of these projects.

Russia’s Ministry for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic, the Government of the Sakhalin Region and Rosatom on 23 April signed an agreement of intent for cooperation on the "Creation and Development of a Hydrogen Cluster" project during the Sakhalin Region Open Doors Day for investors. The agreement provides for cooperation in a number of areas, including the construction of a hydrogen production complex; organisation of the hydrogen supply chain to foreign markets and local consumers; and creation of a hydrogen park with enterprises implementing projects in this area. For personnel training, technology transfer and exchange of experience, it is also planned to create a competence centre for hydrogen and other forms of clean energy at Sakhalin State University.
