Non-Electric Applications of SMRs: Catalyzing Clean Hydrogen Production and Beyond

This conference will explore the essential role of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in generating low-carbon hydrogen and their non-electric applications, highlighting the importance of technology-neutral strategies that incorporate nuclear energy as a viable solution.

As the world transitions to a low-carbon future, the potential of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) is becoming increasingly relevant, not just for hydrogen production but also for a variety of non-electric applications. The Non-Electric Applications of SMRs: Catalyzing Clean Hydrogen Production and Beyond conference will explore the essential role of nuclear power in generating low-carbon hydrogen, along with its applications in district heating, desalination, and industrial heat, highlighting the significance of technology-neutral strategies that incorporate nuclear energy as a viable solution.

We will investigate the crucial pathways for advancing hydrogen production and various non-electric applications through the use of SMRs, while addressing key barriers such as licensing and regulatory frameworks that must be prioritized. In an evolving energy landscape that necessitates diversification, nuclear power and SMRs present competitive alternatives capable of significantly contributing to our sustainability goals across multiple sectors.
