Urenco urges EU to strengthen nuclear fuel supply resilience

12 May 2025
Topic — This consultation reviews investment needs across the European Union's nuclear energy lifecycle.
Message — Urenco urges the EU to strengthen the nuclear fuel chain and reduce dependence on Russia. They request that the fuel cycle be recognized as a sustainable activity under green finance rules. They also advocate for clear policy frameworks and financial incentives to attract investors.123
Why — Strengthening domestic supply chains would provide Urenco with long-term certainty and investment.45
Impact — Russian nuclear suppliers would lose access to the European market due to restrictions.6

Urenco urges protection for EU nuclear fuel producers

31 Jan 2025
Topic — The consultation seeks to further develop the EU single market for goods and services.
Message — Urenco requests a technology-neutral approach recognizing nuclear energy's role in energy security. They also urge protection against price-undercutting by non-EU competitors.12
Why — Protective measures would help Urenco maintain its market share against cheaper international nuclear fuel suppliers.34
Impact — Non-EU fuel suppliers would face new barriers when trying to export low-cost nuclear products to Europe.5

Response to A EU hydrogen strategy

8 Jun 2020

Summary The predicted increase in energy demand and the need to reach decarbonisation goals sooner rather than later should be the main drivers for a future integrated energy system that fully recognises the important role of nuclear and other zero carbon sources. We believe that clean energy, both nuclear and renewable, is essential in the hydrogen economy, and using zero-emission energy sources to support net-zero energy just makes sense. Fuelling the Hydrogen Economy The hydrogen economy is predicted to be a major part of a net-zero energy system in Europe, with the potential to decarbonise transportation, heating, industry, aviation, and agriculture. From a base-load power generation perspective, the EU currently depends on nuclear power for 25 percent of its total electricity demand, which is equivalent to 50 percent of low-carbon electricity production across the EU. For this reason, we believe that nuclear energy is essential in the hydrogen economy. Today’s hydrogen production primarily comes from coal or natural gas, which results in release of carbon dioxide. A smaller amount of hydrogen production comes from electrolysis, where an electric current flows through water to split the water molecules (H2O) into their component pieces of hydrogen and oxygen. Nuclear power plants are an ideal partner for hydrogen production because they produce heat for changing water into steam and the electricity for breaking down the steam into hydrogen and oxygen. Nuclear is the only proven technology capable of providing continuous low carbon power to support hydrogen production. Radical decarbonisation is required to mitigate climate change and meet the commitments made in relation to the Paris Agreement. It is well established that in order to meet zero emission targets, a mix of renewable and nuclear power is needed. We believe nuclear can continue to make a strong contribution, and specifically in fuelling the hydrogen economy, which will have the additional benefit of improving the cost and efficiency of nuclear. Hydrogen, Renewables and Nuclear: A Unique Partnership As stated above, hydrogen is predicted to play a key role in our future energy needs, especially for transport. However, hydrogen is not an energy source, it is a carrier. It takes energy to produce, and this is where hydrogen, renewables and nuclear can form a unique partnership. Various (international) studies show that nuclear energy is efficient and profitable when combined with other renewables, such as solar and wind. A study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 2018, shows that an energy mix having 20 to 25% nuclear energy is the most favourable in terms of both economics and security of supply. Moreover, studies by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) find that large nuclear reactors are suitable for flexible production of electricity and hydrogen whereas small sized plants could also be suitable for hydrogen production as a single purpose plant. Similarly, hydrogen production could absorb excess capacity of renewable energy sources on days that renewable energy supply exceeds demand. While existing and future nuclear power plants are ideal for hydrogen production, nuclear industry is developing other sources. Further research and innovation in nuclear should focus on both the reactor technologies themselves and how they could make a positive contribution to the development of hydrogen production. The EU could fast-track the development of a clean hydrogen economy by supporting such collaborations, particularly between nuclear and hydrogen stakeholders.
