ENERGY WORKSHOP

learn about our plans for a sustainable energy economy -

In January 2020, The University of Toledo hosted a workshop to explore opportunities in repurposing light water nuclear reactors (LWR) for hydrogen production through a hybrid systems design. In the mid-west region, the Davis-Besse Power Plant is the anchor for pilot plant demonstrations, supported by Department of Energy (DOE)-sponsored, Industry cost-shared, Academic-supported research. The demonstration unit can inform assessment on developing new markets from LWR operations based on co-production of non-electrical-based products, such as H2 or other valuable chemicals, by directly using the steam or electricity produced by the nuclear reactor. Integration of LWR-H2 hybrids into green manufacturing and electric power generation from multiple renewable and fossil sources can accelerate commercial growth with reduction in carbon-based emissions.
