Nuclear

In a significant shift within the energy sector, the global nuclear power industry is projected to grow substantially, with a forecast suggesting a near-doubling of nuclear electricity generation by 2050. Despite its potential to provide a stable and low-carbon energy source, the industry is fraught with hurdles that must be navigated by policymakers and industry leaders alike. The current landscape shows that countries such as South Korea, China, and India are at the forefront of this nuclear renaissance, each pursuing aggressive policies to expand their nuclear capacities. As of now, South Korea plans to construct six new nuclear power reactors,…

A new patent introduces a method that aims to significantly enhance hydrogen production using ammonia. Filed by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, this patent proposes an innovative approach to decompose ammonia in an energy-efficient manner. The Ammonia Decomposition Catalyst At the heart of this new hydrogen production method is the use of a specialized catalyst. The patent details the utilization of either a titanium oxide or a titanium oxynitride, represented by two general formulas. These catalysts are crucial in the decomposition process of ammonia, allowing for a highly efficient reaction with minimal energy consumption. The titanium compounds are integral…
