European scientists group urges ban on new natural gas boilers

Envirotec Magazine

Gas distribution and supply companies often argue for progressively replacing natural gas with hydrogen, which would allow them to keep their assets running for years to come. For a long time, natural gas has been seen as the ideal bridge from coal on the road towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

Nuclear: UK pushes forward with small advanced modular reactor program

Business Green

Government touts High Temperature Gas Reactors (HTGRs) to help decarbonise power and produce hydrogen. AMRs are typically smaller than conventional nuclear power stations, offering greater flexibility and which can also be built at a fraction of the cost.

Innovation could spur the UK's nuclear renaissance

Business Green

Advanced nuclear technologies, modular manufacturing methods and new approaches to project finance could usher a more cost-effective era for the UK's nuclear industry, writes LSE's Esin Serin. As part of its approach to dealing with energy security concerns, the UK government has turned to nuclear power.

Why net zero makes sense to Phoenix

Business Green

And that was reflected in our new targets: to cut emissions from the assets we control and influence by 50 per cent by 2030, and to be a net zero business by 2050. Globally, the transition to renewable power could result in estimated savings of $12tr by 2050. per cent to 0.5

Small modular reactors are a high-risk and expensive pursuit

Business Green

It comes at a time in which private sector funding for larger nuclear power stations is proving to be extremely difficult. A particular usage envisaged for some of the technologies is production of hydrogen. To the best of my knowledge, nobody has ever claimed that prize, of £250m.

? Charting a course to curb maritime emissions

Climate Tech VC

Current decarbonization efforts alone set the industry on a course to increase emissions ~10% from today’s levels by 2050. The drop in sulfur oxide emissions, which ironically have a cooling effect in the atmosphere by reflecting light, has also played a role in record high ocean temps this year. Long lifespans.

? US clean investment cleans up with $239bn #187

Climate Tech VC

Emerging climate technologies (ECT) – clean hydrogen, carbon management, and sustainable aviation fuels – experienced the highest Q4 growth at $4.3B, a 10X jump relative to Q4’22. Weaker residential construction activity cooled the HVAC sector, and heat pump sales bore the brunt at a 16% decline compared to 2022.
