A study by a team of researchers from Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) and Fritz-Haber-Institut der Max-Planck-Gesellschaft has found that direct seawater splitting for hydrogen production has substantial drawbacks compared to conventional water splitting and offers almost no advantage. Additionally, H 2 O is needed for water splitting.

On a planet aspiring to become carbon neutral, the once-stalwart coal power plant is an emerging anachronism. Some analysts have proposed a solution that, on the surface, seems almost too elegant: turning old coal plants into nuclear power plants. Conversion backers say the process has benefits for everybody involved.
