Xcel Energy, INL to use nuclear energy for clean hydrogen production; HTSE

Green Car Congress

Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy will work with Idaho National Laboratory to demonstrate a system that uses a nuclear plant’s steam and electricity to split water. The resulting hydrogen will initially be used at the power plant, but it could eventually be sold to other industries. Earlier post.)

US DOE releases 2023 Critical Materials Assessment to evaluate supply chain security for clean energy technologies

Green Car Congress

Highlights of the findings from the 2023 CMA include: Rare earth materials (neodymium [Nd], praseodymium [Pr], dysprosium [Dy], and terbium [Tb]) used in magnets in EV motors and wind turbine generators continue to be critical. Electrical steel is near critical due to its use in transformers for the grid and electric motors in EVs.
