VHTR Nuclear Technology is not available yet. First reactor to use this technology to produce Green Hydrogen by simply using its operating heat.

Is not Ready until at least the Year 2032, Maybe 2035.

In the Soviet Union, I would not say that the environment was so bad; there were projects and technology development. But the idea of ​​connecting an atom is perhaps a good one. Producing hydrogen using nuclear energy is an excellent project, by the way.

Historically this process used most of the coal to provide the heat needed for the process.
My suggestion is to model into this building a small on-prem nuclear reactor and remove most of the pollution. i.e. Keep the type as factory but add consume nuclear fuel and produce nuclear waste to the overall process.

Today, IRL, such a setup takes 700C heat and power from a high temp nuclear source, cracks water to get hydrogen and combines with coke to make fuel. No combustion is involved in the process and the impact on environment is minimized, while grade of fuel is higher than from oil.

Definitely not in line with how Soviets did things at the time, but China has some pilot plants today using high-temp helium-cooled reactors.

Is this a more correct reaction or an alternative?

I would say, the more efficient way of synthesizing fuel from coal is through water-gas reaction that produce syngas (mainly hydrogen and carbon monoxide). The reaction requires nothing but coke and steam, and the waste is what's remain in coal, most of the time alkaline earth metal oxide and sulfur/nitrogen oxides as waste gas.

Despite chemicals requiring oil to be produced, it's a nice idea. Ignore the haters

This balance would need a cheating chemical industry to live; catalysis is a process where the catalyst is almost intact as it facilitates the reaction instead of taking part in it, by the way.
@polcorp heard of the problem being an outstanding one some 15 years ago or so; should have gotten worse, judging by wars.

@Kicaty: it is no more stupid than manufacturing fuel of plant origin, as we do today, to the detriment of so-called Third World populations, who are losing their agricultural land bought by Western agri-food groups to be able to supply Westerners with biofuel.

Kicaty Why do you think so?

stupid

прыкольна

Excellent!

Great idea

Dozed I will take your opinion about chemistry into account in the next update!

Looks great and really useful for some challenging maps with limited oil, congrats

In terms of balance I would increase the cost of building it since it is complex technology.
Also the amount of chemicals for input is far too high. There are mods that add factories that produce chemicals from coal so can definitely combine well with those but the production difference is far too high. Importing such a huge amount of chemicals is also out of the question.

Personally Im lowering it to 20t, it's still not profitable to import the inputs and export the outputs (as it should be) but it's much more manageable.

I'm not forcing you to install the mod. And about chemistry, I’ll think about how to make it without oil. By the way, this plant is cheaper than the Oil Refinery. This is simply an alternative to the original Oil Refinery.

Good idea at first but bad thing you need Oil for Chemicals, too. So it's not really worth it.

It's too early to judge whether this mod will be needed or not.

Looks good but i think nobody use it.
