By reducing the consumption of hydrocarbons for the production of thermal and electric energy, problems associated with global heating can be mitigated. Industrial, transport, and utility sectors currently account for about 70% of total consumption of fossil energy resources. In order to significantly reduce carbon emissions, it will be necessary to replace the energy of burning fossil fuels with nuclear and renewable energy sources. In addition, nuclear energy can act as a large stabilizing energy source for the production of hydrogen for use in industry, transport, and distributed energy engineering, as well as in the production of high-temperature heat for energy-intensive technological processes. In terms of financial return, the production of energy carriers (hydrogen, methanol, etc.) using atomic energy is equivalent to the production of energy carriers in the electric power industry. The Rosatom State Corporation has presented a program for the development of atomic-hydrogen energy engineering and already begun its implementation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
