Hydrogen and Sizewell C

Bringing nuclear and hydrogen together

Sizewell C will generate huge amounts of reliable, low-carbon energy, great for making hydrogen. Nuclear and hydrogen are also two clean technologies that can help the UK make big reductions in carbon emissions.

How we could produce low-carbon hydrogen

One of the best ways of producing hydrogen is by splitting water molecules using an electrolyser. Using low-carbon electricity and heat from our nuclear reactors to power the electrolyser means we can produce low-carbon hydrogen.

 

Supplying local ports with clean hydrogen

Sizewell C supports Freeport East which includes a plan to supply hydrogen to the Port of Felixstowe and Harwich. Working with Hutchison Ports and Ryse-Hydrogen, Sizewell C put forward proposals for a hydrogen hub to provide clean fuel for freight, public transport and other uses, including heating.

We just need a couple of graphics for this area. Liz to commission Lorna

"By using spare heat to enable some of the other low-carbon technologies needed alongside nuclear, Sizewell C will become a flexible energy hub and provide even greater value for energy users." Julia Pyke, Sizewell C's Joint Managing Director
