The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, ADNOC, announced a set of comprehensive sustainability goals, extending its legacy of responsible oil and gas production and reinforcing its longstanding commitment to environmental stewardship.

Innovation is ushering in a new age for nuclear power. As well as boosting plant economics, efficiency, and flexibility, advanced technologies could open up new markets to meet soaring demand for heat and hydrogen—and even medical isotopes.

Успешная реализация совместного российско-турецкого проекта “Турецкий поток” наглядно свидетельствует о том, что стратегическое партнерство России и Турции дает значимые, осязательные результаты, подчеркнул Владимир Путин в ходе торжественной церемонии открытия. Он особо отметил, что экспорт газа из России в Турцию осуществляется около 30 лет.

“Энергетическое взаимодействие России и Турции переживает подъем и поступательно развивается по всем направлениям. Уверен, что “Турецкий поток” внесет существенный вклад в энергобезопасность не только Турции, но и стран Южной и Юго-Восточной Европы, повышая их энергетическую устойчивость. Турция, в свою очередь, остается одним из крупнейших покупателей российского природного газа”, - заверил глава Минэнерго России.

Nuclear power provides 10% of global electricity, but to stem climate change the world is going to need far greater amounts of clean and reliable energy. To tackle climate change, 80% of all electricity will need to be low carbon by 2050.
