DOE awards $22.1M to 10 nuclear technology projects including clean hydrogen production

Green Car Congress

million to 10 industry-led projects to advance nuclear technologies, including two aimed at expanding clean hydrogen production with nuclear energy. A well-established downstream syngas-to-synfuel conversion process, such as Fischer-Tropsch synthesis, converts the syngas to liquid synfuel for a total projected cost of less than $4/gallon.

Penn State, FSU team develops low-cost, efficient layered heterostructure catalyst for water-splitting

Green Car Congress

However, the high cost and scarcity of Pt prohibits its application to fulfil the energy demand. Thus, lowering the cost of HER catalysts is of paramount importance for clean, scalable and sustainable energy. To lower the catalysts cost, a natural abundant alternative and low-cost scalable synthesis are required.
