Green bonds are a rapidly expanding category of fixed-income securities that raise capital for projects with environmental benefits, such as renewable energy or low-carbon transport.

The list of "green" activities includes nuclear power, the production of which does not produce direct CO2 emissions, which puts it on a par with renewable sources of generation.

The addition of copper salts reduces the content of unburnt carbon in ash residue by 3.1 times and CO content in the gaseous combustion products by 40%, the scientists found.

Modelling Princeton conducted on the path to a net-zero future showed not much, if any, increase in gas-fired generation capacity starting now, with small increases in some areas to manage reliability needs from rapid coal retirements offset by retirements of older gas plants in other areas.

The UK's Industrial Decarbonization Strategy sets out how the UK can develop a thriving industrial sector aligned with a net-zero emissions target without pushing emissions and business abroad.

The Teesside plant in northern England will have capacity of up to 1 gigawatt (GW) of so-called blue hydrogen, about a fifth of Britain’s target of 5 GW of hydrogen capacity by the end of the decade.

India aims to achieve 175 GW of renewable capacity (excluding large hydropower) by 2022.

Turkey aims to produce 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2023 (up from 44% in 2019). Solar accounts for around 7% of Turkey’s installed capacity, with 6 GW at the end of 2019.

Spanish utility group Iberdrola SA (BME:IBE) has signed a joint-venture (JV) agreement with Cosmo Eco Power Co Ltd, a subsidiary of Cosmo Energy Holdings Co Ltd (TYO:5021), and Hitachi Zosen Corp (TYO:7004) to co-develop the 600-MW Seihoku-oki offshore wind project in Japan.

Iraq's oil minister and a Total delegation also discussed potential development of solar power projects in the country's central and southern provinces. The two sides also discussed Total's potential support and financing of oil infrastructure projects.

Nuclear power and renewables can, if planned properly, be exemplary partners as we strive towards building a clean energy world following the pandemic, while ensuring that we do so without leaving a large percentage of world's population behind.

"Germany has achieved its 2020 climate target," Economy and Energy Minister Peter Altmaier said. Compared to 1990, 2020 emissions dropped 40.8%.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC’s) Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C released in 2018 clearly indicates that a 45% reduction in global greenhouse gas emissions from 2010 levels is required by 2030.

"The US fusion community has been a pioneer of fusion research since its inception and now has the opportunity to bring fusion to the marketplace,"

Nuclear energy is an "indispensable tool" for achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). It has a crucial role in providing affordable energy and climate change mitigation, as well as eliminating poverty, achieving zero hunger, providing clean water, economic growth, and industry innovation.
