For any energy solution one proposes, the first question is: can it be scaled up to relevant dimensions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Government\u2019s most recent \u201csolution\u201d: using wind turbines to produce hydrogen in Chili and ship it to Belgian ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news: they FINALLY understood that the energy problem extends way beyond electricity production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What if every country in the world comes up with the same solution? It\u2019ll be crowded in Chili.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not a solution. It is a shift of the energy problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BRIGID is designed to produce hydrogen by hot steam hydrolysis. The steam is provided by a fleet of 10+ 3 GWth<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Annevoie Thorium MSR nuclear power plants. Projected worldwide operational time scale: 1300 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hydrogen is not a primary energy source. It\u2019s an energy carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wind is a source, but an unreliable and sparse one. It is not available for hydrogen production in Belgium on a relevant scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thorium and uranium are primary energy sources. They are the collection of energy of a super nova explosion. They are dense, cheap and abundant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Their proper use requires development. That is what BRIGID is doing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
