Many oil and gas, drilling, and extraction operations take place in remote locations, and in many cases, it is not possible for these processes to be fuelled by electricity from the grid. It is here that microreactors (MRs) or small modular reactors (SMRs) could provide a low carbon alternative.

A total of $3.5 billion will flow to 58 projects selected in 44 different states for funding. All the named projects are designed to make energy infrastructure climate-proof. Anticipated results include expanding clean energy suppliers, microgrid investments, and significantly increasing gigawatts of renewable energy capacity.

Addressing electric transmission capacity constraints and congestion is an existential necessity to maintain grid reliability while meeting demand.

The ceiling for bids from offshore wind companies in the next auction round is likely to be considerably more than this year’s £44 ($54) of guaranteed revenue per megawatt-hour of power produced, according to people familiar with the matter.

In the United States last year, according to the Energy Information Administration, natural gas accounted for 39.9 percent of electricity production; coal, 19.7 percent; nuclear, 18.2 percent; and renewables, the rest, although these are coming on fast.

Funding and support are abundantly available for clean energy projects in America. The federal government has allocated billions in funding to incentivize Americans to move to clean energy.

Partnering entities, including more than 900 businesses, state and local governments, utilities, housing authorities, and other public and private organizations, to date have collectively saved $18.5 billion through efficiency improvements and cut harmful carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 190 million metric tons— an amount roughly equivalent to combined annual emissions of 24 million homes.

To reduce CO2 emissions, world leaders call for heavy industry to switch from natural gas and coal to hydrogen fuel. When hydrogen burns, the only combustion product is water vapor.

This month, the California Public Utilities Commission announced $200 million for utilities to invest in multi-customer microgrids.

The definition of a Smart City is “a municipality that uses information and communication technologies to increase operational efficiency, share information and improve both the quality of government services and citizen welfare.”

«Китай и Индия – стратегические партнёры России в части выстраивания нового, справедливого энергорынка и торговой инфраструктуры. Реализуются совместные инвестиционные проекты на территориях обеих стран. Прорабатываются или уже имеются планы по расширению трубопроводных мощностей по доставке нефти и газа из России в Китай», – заявил Николай Шульгинов.

The Brent spot price increasing to average $95 per barrel (b) in 2024.

Besides climate change, amid today’s geopolitical challenges, countries increasingly recognize that nuclear energy is a key contributor to the security of energy supply.

"Building on the collaboration in April in Sapporo, Japan, during the G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers meeting and Business Forum, we stand ready to work together with policymakers to rebuild leadership in nuclear energy within OECD countries and to cooperate with other like-minded nations as they seek to meet their climate and energy security goals."

DOE expects these standards to cumulatively save consumers $24.8 billion on their energy bills over 30 years and cut harmful carbon and methane emissions that fuel the climate crisis.
