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

Green Car Congress

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. The culmination of this program will be a techno-economic assessment (TEA), led by INL, which leverages their expertise and command of such analyses.

DOE to provide up to half the cost of NuScale small modular reactor project

Green Car Congress

The project will be based in Oregon and will support additional suppliers and operations in California, Idaho, Washington, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia, Kansas, Texas and Maryland. The smaller size could reduce both capital costs and construction times—helping to provide U.S.

Shearwater Energy developing SMR wind-hybrid energy project; selects NuScale Power

Green Car Congress

Combining low-carbon generating technologies enables us to achieve similar performance characteristics to large thermal plants without the high cost, long construction time and environmental legacy. A Shearwater-NuScale wind-nuclear energy system will provide reliable, load following power to overcome intermittency and grid stability issues.

DOE issues $6M request for proposals for H2@Scale projects

Green Car Congress

For domestic institutions of higher education, domestic nonprofit entities, or US State, local, or tribal government entities, the cost-share requirement is 10%. The maximum DOE cost share per project would be $900,000 for a project with a total cost of $1,000,000. As above, the cost share must be funds-in.

The Case for Nuclear Cargo Ships

Cars That Think

The first was the American NS Savannah , built in the late 1950s at a cost of $46.9 A large container ship needs about 3,000 megawatt-hours a day, which is roughly the capacity of the biggest grid battery ever built. Cost also played a big role in NuScale Power Corp.’s million (an eye-popping $495 million today).
