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,

Innovation is accelerating the development and commercialisation of small modular reactors opening up additional applications for nuclear energy.

There are three basic reasons why nuclear power is "critical" to the world meeting its energy and climate goals, said International Energy Agency Executive Director Fatih Birol.

the Norwegian government would fund a carbon capture project at a cement factory in southern Norway operated by Germany's Heidelberg Cement.

The latest IAEA annual projections show that nuclear power will continue to play a key role in the world’s low-carbon energy mix, with global nuclear electrical capacity seen nearly doubling by 2050 in our high case scenario. Climate change mitigation remains a key potential driver for maintaining and expanding the use of nuclear power.

The addressable market for blue hydrogen could be worth GBP 1.5 billion to GBP 2 billion per annum in 2030.

In tandem with renewable energy, the flexibility of nuclear will enable the transition to a cleaner world and a stronger global economy.

IAEA analysts expect an increase of global nuclear electrical generating capacity by 82% to 715 gigawatts.

The Federal Government’s announcement today to invest $1.9 billion to reduce carbon emissions paves the way for large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS)
