America continues to search for the perfect energy source, and it appears not to be Natrium, Bill Gates’ ambitious project. Perhaps it is this disappointment that has led our country to make a historic mistake and find the “mine” of the most dangerous energy on Earth: it is red, and it comes from the same mistake that Japan made and put them in front of the biggest catastrophe of the century. We tell you about the project in detail and reveal why, at least at present, there is no reason to be optimistic—quite the contrary.
America has the most dangerous energy in history: It’s not nuclear, but red and “extremely powerful”
Pink or purple hydrogen is also known as red hydrogen, and this type of hydrogen is derived from the high temperature catalytic process of water splitting powered by nuclear energy. This makes a difference with other hydrogen production methods that depend on fossil energy or a renewable energy source.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has observed the prospects of nuclear energy for hydrogen production and, thus, has started a number of research programs in this direction. An important facet of the new red hydrogen is its ability to correspond with the country’s nuclear energy work.
The DOE uses money to support technologies that can be used in nuclear, in particular, the generation of high-temperature steam for hydrogen generation. Thus, the outlined approach improves the stability of nuclear energy and supports its integration into the decarbonization processes of the hydrogen sector.
America’s red hydrogen “core” uncovered: These states are at risk, and there’s no solution this way
The information concerning red hydrogen capacity in the United States is quite sparse, yet several states can be considered to be leading in the volume of nuclear energy generation, which is crucial for the production of red hydrogen.
- Illinois: With the most reactors in the U.S., the state of Illinois is a main candidate for the possible generation of red hydrogen. To start with, the state already has nuclear facilities that can easily be adapted to produce hydrogen.
- California: In clean energy generation, markets, and infrastructure, hydrogen is presently an area of research and focus in California. The state’s goal to decrease greenhouse gas emissions is consistent with the prospects of red hydrogen, therefore, it would be logical to select this candidate for future employment.
- Texas: Given that Texas has many nuclear power plants and wants to be a leader in energy development, it should look into creating red hydrogen. The state energy profile that contains fossil and renewable energy may harness nuclear-generated hydrogen.
Three projects to develop red hydrogen on a large scale in America: From DOE to H2@Scale
Multiple initiatives are being pursued in the U.S. to use nuclear energy for hydrogen generation. Such measures indicate growing concern with red hydrogen as one of the feasible energy sources.
- The Advanced Nuclear Fuel Cycle Initiative: This DOE project entails research on technologies that can effectively convert nuclear energy into hydrogen. Its objective is to show that it is possible to use high-temperature reactors for hydrogen production, with pilots in the next few years.
- The Idaho National Laboratory (INL): These include thermochemical processes that INL is currently researching on for the purpose of generating hydrogen using nuclear heat. Some of their jobs involve creating and testing materials that can handle the high heat necessary for the generation of hydrogen.
- The H2@Scale Initiative: This was about the DOE’s program on hydrogen production techniques, with Nuclear energy being included as one of the types. The aim is to develop a system’s integration of hydrogen production and utilization, in this case red hydrogen included, for the future energy mix.
Innovation pushed to the limit, as you well know, can lead to unexpected results. The discovery of red hydrogen in America is proof of this, and the states we have seen are in some danger. Not because of what they have in the ground, but because of how they are going to get it out. Paradoxically, they could extract it blue or green, but they have chosen the worst of all, with catastrophic potential and a series of consequences that are yet to be revealed (hopefully not).
