OMV Petrom plans to invest €11bn by 2030, with over 35% going to low and zero-carbon opportunities.

Polish national energy policy calls for the construction of 6 to 9 GWe of installed nuclear capacity based on large-scale pressurised water nuclear reactors, with the first of those units to come online around 2033.

We expect Brent prices will average $71/b in December and $73/b in the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22). For 2022 as a whole, we expect that growth in production from OPEC+, of U.S. tight oil, and from other non-OPEC countries will outpace slowing growth in global oil consumption, especially in light of renewed concerns about COVID-19 variants. We expect Brent prices will remain near current levels in 2022, averaging $70/b.

"According to the report, not only would the early closure of nuclear power plants trigger an increase in consumer costs, it will also result in negative environmental impacts," noted Foratom Director General Yves Desbazeille.

A cold snap would be very grim, especially as the government sold off gas storage, and the country only has about three days worth in reserve, less than other European countries.

China aims to reach more than 1,200 GW of installed wind and solar capacity by 2030.

The proposals include 5,170 MW of renewable projects, of which 4,132 MW are solar PV projects, 243 MW geothermal projects and 151 MW biomass projects.

The agreement between Masdar and Engie was signed during French President Emmanuel Macron's official state visit to the UAE, Abu Dhabi government's media office said

The new strategic cooperation agreement was signed by Rosatom Director General Alexey Likhachov and Framatome CEO Bernard Fontana during the World Nuclear Exhibition held in Paris this week.

The world's top greenhouse gas emitter is aiming to bring its carbon emissions to a peak by 2030 and become "carbon-neutral" by 2060.

“As an increasing number of states pursue nuclear energy, decommissioning and waste management as well as nuclear security are two components essential for its sustainable use” said Toshio Kodama, President of JAEA. “JAEA is determined to work together with the IAEA in this scheme to contribute to the international community in these two important areas.”

France operates 56 nuclear power reactors, which make up over 70% of the country’s electricity generation. It has a smaller per capita carbon footprint than most developed countries. “France is already a world leader in low carbon energy generation, and nuclear energy has a major role to play in that,” Mr Grossi said.

"Nuclear power enables rapid decarbonisation on a massive scale, and it has the track record to prove it."

Converting national and regional natural gas networks to hydrogen could be a powerful decarbonisation solution, by distributing the gas to millions of individual users across the country,

FERC's latest monthly "Energy Infrastructure Update" report (with data through September 30, 2021) reveals that renewable energy sources accounted for 87.61% - or 16,665 megawatts (MW) - of the 19,022 MW of new capacity added during the first nine months of the year.
