In September 2015, 193 world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development. If these Goals are completed, it would mean an end to extreme poverty, inequality and climate change by 2030.
Goal 7: Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

  • [New] India's nuclear power, despite offering cost-effective energy solutions compared to solar power, constitutes only 1.6% of its renewable energy mix due to concerns such as stigma, safety risks, regulatory challenges, high initial costs, and project delays. Optimize IAS
  • [New] Bangladesh has significant potential for integrating rooftop solar into its industrial hubs, such as economic and export processing zones, to achieve ambitious renewable energy targets. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] Despite substantial emissions (96.4%) from energy-related sectors and a policy framework lacking gender and social inclusivity, Bangladesh recognizes the potential of renewable energy to enhance energy security and sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] The integration of renewable energy sources has the potential to amplify the energy security of Bangladesh and mitigate its dependence on natural gas. PubMed Central (PMC)
  • [New] The more wind and solar energy added in the Netherlands in the coming years, the more storage capacity the Dutch energy system will need. IO
  • [New] At about £100 per MWh, which the IEA believes is achievable for the next round of plants in Europe, nuclear will play a complementary role in the energy system alongside wind and solar, Wanner suggests. Financial Times
  • [New] As a carbon-free fuel capable of cleaning up many hard-to-abate sectors of the global economy, hydrogen will play an important role in future energy systems. H2TECH
  • [New] The momentum behind clean energy transitions is now sufficient for global demand for coal, oil and natural gas to all reach a high point before 2030. DW.COM
  • [New] SMR SMR technologies are feasible for remote mining applications in Ontario and could provide lower energy costs and emissions compared to diesel power. Ontario.ca
  • [New] SMRs SMRs are an exciting opportunity for Canada to be a world leader in nuclear innovation, clean energy and to capitalize on emerging world-wide markets for SMRs SMRs. Ontario.ca
  • [New] Small modular reactors (SMRs SMRs) present an exciting opportunity for the provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Alberta to be at the forefront of nuclear innovation, clean energy and emerging markets for SMRs SMRs across Canada and around the world. Ontario.ca
  • [New] ARC Clean Energy is targeting to be fully operational at the Point Lepreau nuclear site by 2029, and Moltex Energy will have both its spent fuel recovery system and reactor in operation by the early 2030s, also at the Point Lepreau site. Ontario.ca
  • [New] According to the International Energy Agency, 35% of the global emission reductions needed to reach net zero targets will need to come from emerging and future technologies, making it crucial to accelerate clean, affordable and resilient energy. Net Zero Technology Centre
  • [New] The 10th Berlin Energy Transition Dialog, themed Accelerating the Global Energy Transition, will focus on strategies for tripling the global renewable energy capacities by 2030 agreed in Dubai last year. The Star
  • [New] Lowering Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from hydrocarbon activities is the most cost-effective way to reduce emissions by 2030 compared to any other source in the global economy, and that 15% of energy-related emissions, or 5.1 billion mt of CO2e, stem from upstream and midstream activities. Energy Connects
  • [New] European Green Transition is a UK company developing a portfolio of green economy assets in Europe which aims to capitalise on the opportunity created by the green energy transition. TradingView
  • [New] Aramco's strategy is driven by its belief that reliable and affordable energy supplies, including oil and gas, will be required to meet the world's growing energy demand, and that new lower-carbon energy supplies will gradually complement conventional sources. Aramco
  • [New] The development of flexibility solutions such as battery energy storage systems will play a major role in integrating renewable energies and accelerating the energy transition by guaranteeing the efficiency, reliability and security of energy systems. MarketScreener
  • [New] The redevelopment of the existing residential building stock has become a consolidated policy of the European Commission to implement the objectives of economic recovery and energy transition towards climate neutrality by 2050. MDPI
  • [New] The accelerated deployment of renewable energies, combined with electrification and increased energy efficiency of the electricity grid, can help achieve more than a 90% reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions linked to electricity energy needed to reach Paris's climate objectives by 2050. Market Data Forecast
  • [New] Germany, striving for energy independence and a sustainable future, views Russia's tightening hold over nuclear supplies as a direct threat to its sovereignty and energy security. BNN
