Bloom Energy to test nuclear energy for hydrogen production in Idaho

Bloom Energy will test the generation of hydrogen powered by nuclear energy in Idaho with a new agreement with the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) today (May 18).

The carbon-free hydrogen will be obtained through electrolysis that will be powered by nuclear generation, when the electric grid has ample power, rather than shutting down power the electricity generate will be used to produce cost-effective hydrogen.

Bloom Energy’s high temperature electrolyser will be utilised with a higher efficiency compared to low-temperature variants helping to reduce the amount of electricity needed to produce hydrogen.
