Hydrogen as an Alternate Energy Carrier for Transport Applications: Role of Nuclear Energy

摘要

The rapidly growing Indian transport sector, our indigenously available meagre crude oil resources, an increasing import bill for petroleum products and environmental concerns due to burning of fossil fuels, has led developers to find suitable alternatives. Hydrogen has emerged as an attractive energy carrier for transport applications. These issues, along with hydrogen production technologies and the suitable nuclear reactor concepts required for large scale production of hydrogen have been briefly discussed in the article.
