All clean electricity options were favoured in Estonia, according to the poll. A total of 57% of people expressed support for wind, and 50% for solar energy, whereas only 10% supported natural gas.

State-run oil giant Rosneft signed a 10-year supply deal with China's CNPC for supplies of 100 million mt, or 200,821 b/d, of crude. Russia's Gazprom signed a 10 Bcm/year gas supply deal with CNPC which will see Gazprom's pipeline supplies to China reach 48 Bcm.

“This is already a second contract to be signed for Russian gas supplies to China, and it is indicative of the exceptionally strong mutual trust and partnership between our countries and companies. Our Chinese partners from CNPC have already seen for themselves that Gazprom is a reliable gas supplier,” said Alexey Miller.

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

"Aside from a few additional Bcms which could be squeezed out of (mainly LNG) exporters -- probably only on an emergency basis -- there is no substantial, immediately available gas which could compensate for any significant interruption of Russian gas supplies,"

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.

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,

Gas exports to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline keep growing within the framework of the long-term bilateral contract between Gazprom and CNPC.

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.

Enel Green Power (EGP) added 5,120 MW of new renewable power capacity in 2021 (+65% compared to 2020), including 220 MW of battery capacity.

H2biscus will convert hydropower and natural gas into green hydrogen/methanol and blue hydrogen, and also convert hydrogen to ammonia, with an aim to supply the hydrogen and ammonia to Sarawak and South Korea.

Small Modular Reactors Day was an international platform for discussing the benefits of Small Modular Reactors, the prospects for their development and how this technology can be applied around the world.

The MoUs - signed in both Gdańsk and Westinghouse's office in Warsaw - include cooperation on the possible construction of six AP1000 plants for the Polish nuclear power plant programme.

Energy costs drove most of the increase, with a 95.9% jump in December from a year earlier,

Under the two agreements, the three groups will explore key areas of collaboration on Ørsted’s Incheon offshore wind project, contributing to the growth of offshore wind power in South Korea
