Clean fuels

Clean fuels—including hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol—are versatile energy carriers essential for decarbonizing heavy industries and sectors where direct electrification is not yet feasible. These fuels provide a path to sustainable long-distance transportation and serve as critical feedstocks for high-temperature applications like cement and steel production. By utilizing the ARC-100 as a primary energy source, producers can ensure that the synthesis of these fuels is both environmentally responsible and economically stable, decoupling industrial fuel production from the price volatility of global fossil fuel markets.

The ARC-100 is an ideal technology for the large-scale production of clean fuels. Whether splitting water through electrolysis to create hydrogen or providing the high-grade heat necessary for the synthesis of ammonia and methanol, the ARC-100 is a versatile industrial partner. The reactor’s ability to generate consistent, high-temperature steam and thermal energy allows for higher efficiency in the chemical conversion processes required to produce the next generation of liquid and gaseous fuels.

The Global Clean Fuel Economy

Hydrogen and its derivatives, such as ammonia and methanol, are central to the energy security and economic roadmaps of North America. As the demand for energy-dense, transportable fuels grows, the ability to produce these locally and reliably becomes a strategic advantage. The United States and Canada are already global leaders in fuel production; the U.S. is the world’s second-largest consumer of hydrogen, and Canada remains a top-10 global producer. Integrating nuclear energy into this production chain allows for a consistent, 24/7 supply that can meet the massive scale required by the global shipping, aviation, and heavy transport industries.

As the emerging clean fuel economy expands across North America, the ARC-100 provides the reliable, high-density energy needed to sustain industrial growth. By anchoring the production of hydrogen and synthetic fuels with advanced nuclear technology, Canada and the United States can reinforce their positions as leaders in energy innovation, ensuring a stable and secure supply of the fuels that will power the global economy of the future.
