The eastern Chinese coastal province of Zhejiang has approved the construction of a new 7 billion yuan ($1.10 billion) coal-fired power plant with 2 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity

Utsira Nord has an offshore wind potential of 1.5 GW (the other area, Sørlige Nordsjø II, has a potential of 3 GW).

"Наша страна поддерживает тренд по зелёному энергопереходу и снижению выбросов в атмосферу. Развитие газомоторного рынка – один из шагов в этом направлении. Поэтому у газомоторного рынка в России огромные перспективы", – сказал Юрий Борисов.

Во ВНИИНМ им. А.А. Бочвара (АО «ВНИИНМ», входит в Топливную компанию Росатома «ТВЭЛ») успешно разработана технология и изготовлены экспериментальные топливные таблетки из дисилицида урана для легководных реакторов (ВВЭР и PWR) в рамках реализации комплексной программы разработки топлива нового поколения безопасности ATF (т.н. толерантного топлива).

Two newly announced North American initiatives aim to accelerate the deployment of fusion technologies for power generation. In Canada, Bruce Power, General Fusion, and the Nuclear Innovation Institute (NII) will work together to evaluate potential deployment of a fusion power plant in Ontario.

Called Snowflake – but also known by the less eloquent ‘Arctic Hydrogen Energy Applications and Demonstrations’ project – the facility will be a year-round scientific hub for the development, testing and maturation of carbon-free technologies robust enough to operate in extreme Arctic conditions.

The Commission said that, after taking account of scientific advice and current technological progress, it considers there is a role for private investment in gas and nuclear activities in the transition.

The nuclear power plant, to be sited near Lima, about 100 kilometres north west of Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, will use China's Hualong One technology - the HPR1000 reactor,

Россия как сторона Парижского соглашения поддерживает курс на снижение выбросов парниковых газов глобальной мировой экономики. Исходя из существующих технологий, к 2050 году угольщики планируют на четверть снизить выбросы парниковых газов.

The National Weather Service on Feb. 1 issued winter storm warnings stretching from the Great Lakes to New Mexico and West Texas and either winter weather advisories or watches for hundreds of miles north and south of the winter storm warning areas.

China, the world's biggest greenhouse gases emitter and coal consumer, is expected to add 180 gigawatts (GW) of new power generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources during 2022, driving total non-fossil fuel capacity to 1,300 GW, according to a report issued by the China Electricity Council (CEC) late on Thursday.

Nuclear power plants may also be affected by extreme natural events, such as earthquakes, tornados, volcanic activity, ice storms and flooding. In rare circumstances, these events can be extreme enough to exceed the design capacity of a nuclear power plant.

For six months now, the EC has been in possession of the scientific verdict that nuclear energy is a sustainable energy source that can make a significant contribution to mitigating climate change.

The Japan Atomic Energy Agency (JAEA), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) and Mitsubishi FBR Systems (MFBR) yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with TerraPower of the USA to cooperate on the development of sodium-cooled fast reactors. TerraPower - founded by Bill Gates - is developing the Natrium sodium-cooled fast reactor.

This duplication of generating capacity increases electricity infrastructure investment, thus increasing required return on investment and consumer electric rates.
