“The momentum for new reactors is growing as the technology receives government support and is maturing because of the hard work of developers. I’m glad there is now more widespread recognition for the carbon-free applications new reactors bring to electricity generation and beyond. These new developments will lead to a diverse portfolio of advanced reactors that are positioned to meet needs: for new customers, new markets and the climate.”

“LafargeHolcim, a global building materials supplier, has received a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to research and develop a system to capture and sequester the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions.”

“The announcement is a significant step toward proving that small nuclear reactors, an emissions-free technology of a type that has never been deployed, can play a role in decarbonizing the grid.”

“These 'super-enzymes' were made by researchers at the Center for Enzyme Innovation in the UK and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Colorado. They break down a type of common plastic known as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) — used in single-use bottles as well as clothing and carpets — into its chemical building blocks.”

“Luckily, there is abundant innovation happening in nuclear energy and across the carbon-free energy sector. We must continue to see policy support and investment demonstrated by initiatives like DOE’s Advanced Reactor Development Program.”

“Factory Zero will be over 4 million square feet in size when it resumes operation, making it among GM’s largest. When it gets up to its full rated capacity of 270,000 vehicles annually, it is expected to employ about 2,200 people.”

"After peaking in the 1960s, the stream of hydropower development gradually slowed to a trickle. One of the main reasons is the bureaucratic federal licensing process. Developers must navigate a licensing process that can take more than six years, spanning multiple state and federal government agencies."

“’Carbon capture and storage is a proven technology and has the potential to play a key role in decarbonising energy and industries across sectors to meet international climate targets.'"

“GCS said once completed, its sequestration hub is expected to be the largest geologic carbon capture project in the United States and among the largest in the world. It would have capacity to sequester 2.7 tons of CO2 annually. That is equivalent to removing about 600,000 passenger vehicles from the road every year, the company estimated.”
