We still have a long way to go to reach #netzero. Roughly a third of U.S. energy generation is from #renewables and nuclear power. Natural gas is displacing coal. #energy #energytransition #powergrid #greenenergy

According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), Clean energy is growing rapidly, as annual deployment of a number of key technologies has surged ahead in recent years driven by policy support and continued cost declines. Their growth is starting to make a dent on emissions and reshape energy markets.  More specifically, Nuclear Energy is seen as critical in the path to Net-Zero emissions, collectively avoids over 160 Mt of CO2 emissions per year by displacing mainly coal-fired power and natural gas-fired power.  #NetZero #NuclearEnergy #CleanEnergy

Primary energy data can be quantified using two different methodologies: (1) 'Direct' primary energy, which directly combines fossil fuel data with the electricity generated by nuclear power and renewables. (2) 'Substituted' primary energy, which converts non-fossil electricity into their 'input equivalents': The amount of primary energy that would be needed if they had the same inefficiencies as fossil fuels. This 'substitution method' is adopted by the Energy Institute's Statistical Review of World Energy, when all data is compared in exajoules. https://lnkd.in/dHm-Qcy5 #hydropower #hydroelectric #energy #consumption

In energy history, we’ve seen the age of coal and the age of oil, and now we are entering the age of electricity, as highlighted in the chart below. With the rapid growth of clean energy production, the demand for oil and gas is expected to plateau this decade. In the near term, we will continue to rely on a diverse mix of energy sources, including renewables, fossil fuels, and nuclear power, complemented by emerging technologies aimed at reducing CO2 emissions. The following article details other methods in which scientists and researchers are attempting to reduce the amount of carbon in our atmosphere. https://lnkd.in/gDw3b2uE

In the final chapter of Chasing Zero, our series exploring the trade-offs of the energy transition, we size up Australia’s nuclear power debate. With federal and state bans in place, a non-existent local industry and high costs, nuclear faces significant hurdles. Despite vast uranium reserves, Australia’s immediate energy strategy is focused on deploying renewables to replace retiring coal plants.

The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), along with the Australian Energy Market Operator, released its latest GenCost report where they found that Australia’s best option is renewable energy. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, is expensive, impractical, and not aligned with the country’s climate goals. To learn more about the most recent GenCost report, read “Renewables are the cheapest and nuclear the most expensive forms of energy – CSIRO” here: https://zurl.co/vW4Y #csiro #csiroreport #gencostreport #aemo #renewableenergyaustralia #nuclear energy #climatechange #emissionsreduction #energymanagementconsultants #energybrokers #leadingedgeenergy

#DeepTech Episode No. 4 - #Energy of the Future. Topics Lukas Leitner, Jan Thomas & myself covered: - What's the energy mix of the future? - Why is solar superior to wind energy? - Do we need nuclear energy? - Where does hydrogen really make sense? - What are future energy storage solutions? - What are the most exciting financing rounds in clean-tech?

The newest release of the NREL Annual Technology Baseline (ATB) includes the reference nuclear cost from our GAINnuclear study that can be found ar the link below 👇🏽 https://lnkd.in/g8HFV952 Energy mix modelers who are interested in considering #nuclear in their planning models should take a look at our reports and new values in the ATB that give a fresh take on potential for cost reductions to #decarbonize the US to #netzero 🇺🇸 This is the culmination of a year’s worth of work with contributions from a broad range of #nuclearenergy experts like Chris Lohse, Levi Larsen, Nahuel Guaita, Ishita Trivedi (from Idaho National Laboratory), Edward A. Hoffman, Nicolas Stauff (from Argonne National Laboratory), Koroush Shirvan (MIT), and Adam Stein, PhD (Beakthrough Institute). Couldn’t be more pleased to have this finally get released!!
