Batalla por el liderazgo energético: cómo Europa y EEUU modelarán el escenario global del hidrógeno
Factores como el costo, la eficiencia y la disponibilidad impulsan dónde y cuándo utilizar el hidrógeno El hidrógeno ha emergido como un actor central en la transición hacia una matriz energética más sostenible y libre de emisiones de carbono. Su versatilidad y papel crucial en la cadena de valor mundial lo convierten en un recurso estratégico. […]
El cierre de las centrales nucleares en España tiene graves consecuencias: más emisiones y energía más cara
Según el think tank OIKOS, el coste directo de no prorrogar las centrales nucleares se estima en 22.600 millones de euros y recaería sobre las empresas y los consumidores españoles El think tank OIKOS publica el estudio “¿Verde, competitiva y segura?” sobre prospectivas de la transición energética elaborado en colaboración con la consultora AFRY que […]
IAEA Confirms Third Batch of ALPS Treated Water Released Today Has Tritium Level Far Below Japan’s Operational Limit
The tritium concentration in the third batch of diluted ALPS treated water, which Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) started discharging today, is far below the country’s operational limit, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts present at the site confirmed. IAEA experts stationed at the IAEA Fukushima NPS Office took samples from the third batch of […]
IAEA Reviews Estonia’s Nuclear Power Infrastructure Development
Estonia has developed a comprehensive assessment of its nuclear power infrastructure needs to enable the government to decide whether to launch a nuclear power programme, an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team of experts said today. The IAEA team concluded an eight day mission to Estonia to review the country’s infrastructure development for a nuclear […]
Embracing the Promise of Additive Manufacturing for Advanced Nuclear Reactors
Imagine printing a nuclear reactor core — or nuclear fuel pellets — in 3D. It may sound far-fetched that 3D printing could create materials robust enough to withstand the extreme environment of a nuclear reactor, yet that is what many experts believe is necessary to accelerate the deployment of advanced reactors and maximize nuclear energy’s […]
Hosting a Nuclear Facility: Mayors Discuss Role of Community Engagement
Engaging local stakeholders through transparent and open dialogue is pivotal for the success of nuclear projects. Engagement requires time, trust-building and adaptability as expectations evolve. In many places, communities that initially expressed scepticism or opposition have become advocates because of this engagement and better understanding of what it means to host a nuclear facility. “The […]
IEA’s World Energy Outlook Forecast Is an Outlier among Forecasts
The International Energy Agency (IEA) World Energy Outlook 2023 makes assumptions in its Stated Policies Case (base scenario) that results in forecasts that are very different than those other modelers are producing. For instance, IEA has world fossil fuel demand peaking in 2030, and then declining due mostly to lower coal demand. Fossil fuel demand […]
