They will focus on accelerating progress on electrification and batteries, hydrogen, carbon capture, usage and storage, zero-emission aviation and shipping, "and for those countries that opt to use it", nuclear power.

Nuclear power of course is the only carbon-free energy source we have that can deliver power day and night, throughout every season, almost anywhere on Earth. And it's been proven to work at a large scale.

National regulators should collaborate through bilateral and multinational agreements on design and safety reviews, share technical reviews, establish common positions on safety criteria, and make appropriate use of existing reference SMR design reviews to streamline SMR licensing processes.

It is essential that the roles for nuclear energy are set out and assessed clearly, with the acknowledgement that they will not be adopted unless they are part of an optimised solution. It is also essential that similarly objective assessment mechanisms are applied to all decarbonisation options.

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.

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.
