Nuclear energy must play a central role in economic relaunch strategies.

From a market share of less than 1% in India's import basket before the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Russia's share of India's imports rose to 4.24 million mt, or nearly 1 million b/d, in October, taking a 21% share comparable to that of Iraq and higher than Saudi Arabia's share of around 15% in the country's import basket in the same month,

The strategy articulates India's vision and action plan for achieving its goals set out in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) which was updated earlier this year to commit India to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% from 2005 levels, and to achieve "about 50%" of its cumulative installed electric capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources, by 2030.

Gas prices soared this year tracking the Russia-Ukraine war. But even if there was some peace settlement or an agreement with Ukraine, non-Russian gas will likely continue to attract a premium

An “Energy Superhub” is being constructed in Coventry, a city in the middle of the UK, which will harmonize a number of renewable technologies to maximize the benefits of decarbonized electricity.

Despite the ongoing uncertainty of long-term forecasts for the energy market development, it is clear that natural gas will continue gaining increased importance in the global energy mix. Its consumption is expected to increase by about 20 per cent by 2040 versus 2021.

Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), set the tone for the event by declaring at its outset: “Nuclear power is making comeback—and in a strong fashion.”

The Administration prioritized five areas' to launch the Net- Zero Game Changers Initiative:

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary. H. L. Mencken

Global primary energy demand is forecast to continue growing in the medium- and long-term, increasing by a significant 23% in the period to 2045. The world needs to annually add on average 2.7 million barrels of oil equivalent a day to 2045.

Just eliminating fossil fuel alone is a tall order -- 22 percent of the current generating mix is coal and 38 percent is natural gas. Half of the generation will, in theory, go offline while demand for electricity soars.

As the cleanest hydrocarbon fuel, natural gas is seen as the perfect solution that strikes the right balance, and will continue to play a key role in the future energy mix.

The current situation, rather than “making green energy so cheap that eventually everyone will want it”, is making green energy so expensive that eventually no one will want it.

Nuclear power, climate change and sustainable development. Investor and philanthropist Bill Gates speaks with the IAEA in an exclusive interview ahead of the IAEA International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century, to be held from 26 to 28 October 2022 in Washington, D.C.

There is a huge potential fusion industry and businesses were urged to get involved in the supply chain now.
