DNP-TIP-2023-04: Demonstration of Clean Hydrogen Production at Nine Mile Point

With the goal of zero carbon emissions becoming increasingly vital to the United States and the world, nuclear energy has distinguished itself as a clear path forward. The benefits of nuclear energy are vast, and not limited to electricity production, as demonstrated by Constellation’s innovative research with clean hydrogen production at Nine Mile Point (NMP). Illuminating the possibilities of a Nuclear-Hydrogen partnership, Constellation has installed a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer for in-house hydrogen supply and consumption, opening the door to larger scale electrolyzer development and installation to be used in power markets. This innovation represents a game-changing step forward in linking multiple energy sectors towards the shared goal of decarbonization, with nuclear at the forefront.
