Decarbonizing Cities: Helsinki Metropolitan Area: Providing District Heating, Power and Transportation Fuels with Advanced Nuclear Reactors
This report is one of the first studies to explore how we could use small, advanced nuclear reactors to achieve an almost complete decarbonization of our society.
It explores how we can construct a fleet of nuclear reactors to provide district heating, power and hydrogen in a flexible and cost-effective way. The scope of the study covers the Helsinki Metropolitan area with a projected population of around 1.5 million people by 2050. Using combined heat and power (CHP) and high temperature electrolysis (HTSE), the significant seasonal variations in energy demand can be met while still using the nuclear reactors at high capacity.
We need to proceed on a society-wide deep decarbonization as fast as possible. This study finds that using innovative nuclear reactors as a significant part of the solution will offer huge benefits to achieve decarbonization of electricity, transport and heating.
