By the end of the 2020s, annual capital spending on clean energy in these economies needs to expand by more than seven times, to above USD 1 trillion, in order to put the world on track to reach net-zero emissions by 2050.

Taro Kono, the administrative reform minister, has announced a goal of doubling Japan's geothermal power facilities by 2030.

In Asia, net-zero carbon ambitions will likely require US LNG to arrive in the form of certified low- or carbon-neutral cargoes,

"There is public demand across the planet to take better care of the climate situation and have fewer emissions and more environmental responsibility in the energy sector. This process is inevitable but a lot depends on the pace at which it is to be implemented," he said.

Правительство утвердило план реализации Энергетической стратегии

The EU ETS represents one of the world’s largest CO2 markets. It caps emissions from about 10,000 power sector, industrial and aviation installations from all EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.

Today, nuclear energy plays a critical role in the fight against climate change.

S Korea's LNG demand has been on the rise on hopes of a postpandemic economic recovery as well as the shutdown of a few nuclear reactors.

Учитывая довольно высокую стоимость энергетического перехода – по отдельным расчётам, к 2050 году она может составить от 100 до 200 трлн долларов США, – реализация этого тренда и замена традиционных источников возобновляемыми находится под большим вопросом, считает вице-премьер.

In 2021, annual global energy investment is set to rise to USD 1.9 trillion, rebounding nearly 10% from 2020 and bringing the total volume of investment back towards pre-crisis levels. However, the composition has shifted towards power and end-use sectors – and away from traditional fuel production.

В апреле были пересмотрены в сторону повышения и прогноз роста мирового ВВП – до 5,5%, и прогноз по росту спроса на нефть в мире – теперь рост в 2021 году ожидается на уровне 6 млн баррелей, что выше изначального уровня на 5,5 млн баррелей.

Наши оценки на ближайшие 2-3 года всё же где-то 50-60 долларов за баррель. А на далёкую перспективу оценки разные: прогнозируют и 50, и 70 долларов за баррель.

The new fuel will make nuclear power plants both safer and more cost-efficient.

Ensuring that these energy systems are efficient and reliable, integrating larger shares of renewables coupled with nuclear energy, which is a significant part of today’s electricity production in both our countries, will be crucial to accelerate energy transitions

Nuclear fusion power plants will require out-of-this-world conditions — temperatures exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius to achieve high enough particle density for the reaction to take place.
