I don't see how flexible power demand (e.g. hydrogen generation) helps baseload power. If you always have a valuable way to use excess power, that just makes variable generation like solar even more valuable and makes it even harder for nuclear to compete.
- ftth_finland 3y agoIn the YouTube video in a sibling comment the rebuttal was that most chemical processes are continuous processes and require constant power, i.e. they become new baseload. Hydrogen generation does not have a flexible power demand, because as you the electrolysis ramps up and down efficiently goes to zero.
