Growing energy demand and getting to Net Zero are the two global trends underpinning the Total Energy Outlook and thus the evolutions of the energy markets that Total integrates into its strategy.

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2020 (WNISR2020) provides a comprehensive overview of nuclear power plant data, including information on age, operation, production, and construction of reactors.

A two-day Scientific Forum focused on ‘Nuclear Power and the Clean Energy Transition’. The Forum featured experts, government representatives and international organization representatives and academics, who spoke about how nuclear power can contribute to climate change goals and play a role in the clean energy transition.

A powerful coalition of some 70 major financial institutions on five continents with total financial assets of more than $10 trillion has come over to the environmental side

Nuclear has been left largely behind by booming demand for clean energy over the past decade.

Green hydrogen is beginning to have a main role in the energy strategies of many countries and companies. This molecule will have the capability of slowly displacing fossil fuels as a consequence of its versatility and gravimetric energy density.

Rosatom's 10-year portfolio of overseas orders has a value of about USD140 billion and includes, among others, 36 new units at various stages of implementation in 12 countries.

Official greenhouse gas measurements place China as the world’s largest emitter, at almost 12,500 million tonnes a year,

Now, electric grids are increasingly decentralizing, giving rise to cloud-based systems that pool resources to meet fluctuating consumer demand.

Key risks for the renewables sector are reductions in direct subsidies and tax credits as observed in China, Europe, and the US, permitting barriers and a cloudier outlook for long-term electricity prices.

Several oil majors are charting a faster shift to cleaner energy.

These goals are appropriately ambitious, while also realistic and achievable. Climate change mitigation is not a luxury but a necessity if we want to avoid a climate crisis.

Russia has 36 nuclear power units in operation and three new ones under construction. In March, Russia's Ministry for Economic Development published a draft strategy for low-carbon development to 2050. The strategy's basic scenario would see nuclear output grow from 203 TWh in 2017 to 225 TWh in 2030 and 260 TWh in 2050. State nuclear corporation Rosatom's foreign orders include 36 units, which are at various stages of implementation.

Proponents of nuclear say as a low-carbon power source it could be vital in helping countries meet climate targets

Germany's law sets a legally binding target to achieve a carbon neutral power mix by 2050,
