The US State Department said in a statement that the “Ukraine Clean Fuels from SMRs pilot project will demonstrate the production of clean hydrogen and ammonia using secure and safe SMRs and cutting-edge electrolysis technologies in Ukraine. The project will support Ukraine’s energy security goals, enable decarbonisation through clean hydrogen generation, and improve long-term food security through clean ammonia-produced fertilisers.”
