Room 3

Description

Intensifying decarbonization through nuclear power... In addition to breaking a taboo, the calls for nuclear power development at COP 28 come against a backdrop of global revival in the sector. For the IAEA, nuclear power could contribute to a considerable reduction in carbon emissions. What potential does nuclear power have to decarbonize electricity generation and difficult sectors such as industry and transport? The traditional opposition between renewable energies and nuclear power is no longer relevant, and the focus is now on synergies between hydrogen production and nuclear power. What are the challenges and opportunities of this approach to the energy transition?
