You pipe it somewhere and burn it, in a heater, or an engine, or a smaller generator, the way natural gas is used today. Or fill a tank with it and power a vehicle.
However, I appreciate the point made about hydrogen escaping and causing embrittlement of materials.
- g15jv2dp 2y agoYou want to use thermal energy to make hydrogen, then burn that hydrogen to make thermal energy, possibly even to harvest that thermal energy to produce electricity...
- analog31 2y agoThe idea is that nuclear fission produces thermal energy, the production of hydrogen provides a means of storing and transporting that energy to its point of use. It might be useful to draw a diagram. Electricity is really just another means to the same end. You can't use all of the energy generated by a power plant, at the plant site, so you transport the energy to places where it's needed.
