Assessment of the efficiency of hydrogen production based on nuclear power plants for use in oil refining technology
https://doi.org/10.15518/isjaee.2025.04.063-081
Abstract
The article evaluates the efficiency of hydrogen production at NPPs using water electrolysis («yellow» hydrogen) for the purpose of supplying it to oil refineries to replace «gray» hydrogen. It provides a basic diagram of hydrogen production and supply from NPPs to oil refineries by pipeline, as well as all the necessary initial data. It provides a methodology for estimating the cost of hydrogen production at NPPs, taking into account its delivery to oil refineries depending on the distance, as well as the final economic effect as a result of replacing «gray» hydrogen with «yellow».
