US Energy Loan Programs Office director Jigar Shah has announced that nuclear hydrogen is promising as a component of the US energy transition. The promise comes from the use of low-cost electricity to power water electrolysis to make H2, which could be replaced by instead using the affordable electricity for nuclear hydrogen production.
