Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom has chosen the Kola nuclear power station site in northern Russia for a facility to test the production of clean hydrogen from reactors, reports in Russian media said.

According to Rosatom, the project is in its preparatory stages, but it wants to have a facility for hydrogen production and conversion in operation by 2023.

The complex will initially have electrolysis plants with a total capacity of 1 MW-capacity. It is expected that this will expand to 10 MW.
