We want our assets delivered in a way that’s better, faster and greener.

But even though coal plants themselves are the largest single source of carbon, they can also act as flexible generators, complementing renewables in support of delivering reliable, affordable, and resilient electricity grids.Installing advanced heat sources, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), to replace the coal-fired boilers at existing coal plants will enable the continued use of existing infrastructure for emissions-free electricity generation, providing substantial help with our decarbonisation efforts.. Repowering coal offers a fast, low-risk, large-scale contribution to decarbonising the world’s power generation..

So, together with Terra Praxis, other specialists and key stakeholders, we are developing a solution that will contribute to creating a huge market for rapid, low-cost repowering of coal and gas plants with carbon-free advanced heat sources, while delivering a substantial portion of the clean electricity required to help achieve Net Zero by 2050.. 18.The answer is nuclear.We are facing a climate crisis, and a rapidly closing window of opportunity in which to address it.

The terms of the debate, where ‘nuclear’ is used to cover old technology and its associated problems, must be updated.Rather than frame the debate as either / or, we should be looking objectively at all the potential decarbonisation solutions we have.

No technology is entirely problem-free – including renewables – and we must review the benefits of nuclear power carefully, and on the evidence.. One thing we know for sure is that we need to decarbonise, and quickly.. To learn more about our Design to Value approach to design and construction, sign up for our monthly newsletter here:.

Focus on hard to abate Sectors is Critical:.While significant progress has been made in general decarbonisation, achieving net zero hinges on addressing the most hard to abate sectors like iron, steel, cement, chemicals, and heavy transport (e.g., aviation), where electrification is not a straightforward solution.. 2.
