At European Nuclear Young Generation Forum 2023 in Krakow, Poland.

Gave a talk at the European Nuclear Young Generation Forum (ENYGF) 2023 in Krakow, Poland. My talk, entitled "An Overview on Harnessing the Power of nuclear energy for a Hydrogen Economy," highlighted the crucial role of nuclear power in developing a sustainable hydrogen economy. 

As we strive towards a net zero future, nuclear energy can play a vital part in producing carbon-free fuels such as #hydrogen. By utilizing water #electrolysis technologies, nuclear power can work alongside #
renewable energy sources to drive the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Thank you to ENYGF2023 for providing the platform to share these insights and to everyone who attended the talk.
