Spanish Startup RenU Fuel Aims to Reuse Nuclear Waste for Hydrogen Production
RenU Fuel Solutions seeks to create a circular industry by reprocessing spent nuclear fuel to generate hydrogen. The startup won two awards in November at the EIT Jumpstarters competition. Their process, termed radiólisis, utilizes the remaining radiation from nuclear waste to produce hydrogen without external electricity. The technology aims for a low-cost hydrogen production, potentially under one euro per kilogram, and plans to establish their pilot reactor by 2030, targeting market entry by 2035.
