New Delhi. We have seen and heard a lot about solar energy and nuclear energy, but soon hydrogen based energy is going to be used to generate electricity in the world.
If all goes according to plan, the US will have the world’s first grid-scale nuclear fusion power plant. If this plan is successful then there will be no shortage of electricity in the world in the future. It is natural to raise a question in the mind that this is just a power plant, what is so special about it? Let us tell you that hydrogen based energy is a clean energy. This plant is going to generate electricity using the same technology that the sun produces energy to illuminate the world. It is believed that its work will be completed by the year 2030. If this happens, this plant will be able to generate electricity for people for decades without emitting carbon. At present, there is a plan to produce 400 MW electricity from this plant, which will be able to light about 1.5 lakh houses. A startup company named Commonwealth Fusion Systems is working on this clean energy project. CFS and Richmond, one of the largest and most renowned nuclear fusion companies, are investing several billion dollars in its construction. How does nuclear fusion energy work? If we understand in simple words, nuclear fusion energy is the energy that is produced by nuclear fuse reaction. In nuclear energy, on one hand the molecules break together, due to which energy is generated. At the same time, in hydrogen energy, molecules join together, due to which energy is generated. These molecules then break and join later. This produces energy again and again. It is considered a clean energy. It was told that this is also the source of the abundant heat present on the Sun. It involves combining atoms together to create a powerful blast of energy, which is achieved using hydrogen, the most abundant element in the universe. What is the biggest problem? It was told that this will be the first time in the world that energy will be provided through fusion power on plasma. However, moving forward in this direction is not as easy as is being claimed. This is because this technology has not yet been proven practical. The whole world is currently moving towards adopting clean energy. To save the earth, everyone wants to distance themselves from carbon emission based energy sources. Nuclear fusion energy is an energy that will always be available on Earth.
