The Role of Nuclear Power in the Hydrogen Economy: Cost and Competitiveness

This publication by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) provides an overview of recent developments in the hydrogen economy and provides an in-depth analysis of nuclear competitiveness for hydrogen production and distribution. This report also explores the effects of combined electricity and hydrogen production at the system level.

This report includes an overview of the state of the current discussions on the role of hydrogen and hydrogen value chains in future decarbonized energy systems, a systematic analysis of different hydrogen production methods and their value chain costs, and an analysis of system costs related to the combined production of electricity and hydrogen with key findings of the analysis.
