As of 18 August, the Tianwan nuclear hydrogen production project had reached a new milestone, with cumulative hydrogen production exceeding 30,000 cubic metres.

The project uses proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis technology to produce hydrogen. Since the project's inception, the team has continuously explored ways to effectively integrate PEM hydrogen production equipment into the nuclear power plant's 'gas, water, electricity' processes, thereby enhancing safety standards and equipment performance.

As an efficient and clean secondary energy source, hydrogen plays a pivotal role in the energy transition. Nuclear hydrogen production is a key way of achieving the dual carbon goals. Reaching a cumulative output of 30,000 cubic metres of hydrogen provides engineering evidence of the safety, reliability, cleanliness, and efficiency of nuclear hydrogen generation. This serves as a reference model for advancing the high-quality development of China's hydrogen energy industry.
