Using nuclear plants to generate heat as well as electricity for non-grid industrial applications could be central to deep decarbonisation efforts beyond being a source of zero-carbon electricity. Speakers at the fifth
Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum last week looked at how hydrogen - and nuclear - can contribute to carbon abatement efforts in areas that have so far been hard to decarbonise.

The session on
Nuclear Beyond Power: Hydrogen, Heat, and Desalination focused on the opportunities for light-water-cooled and high temperature gas-cooled reactor designs to support the heat and electricity demands of industrial processes, hydrogen production and desalination to produce potable water. The session was moderated by Shannon Bragg-Sitton, lead for Integrated Energy Systems at the Idaho National Laboratory.

A minimum of $10 billion worth of investments is currently being injected in the energy sector to delist Nigeria from one of the most energy impoverished nations in the world. Speaking at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum 2021, Alhaji Mele Kyari, Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, elaborated on the topic of “Delivering Energy Access in the Developing World”, emphasizing the value of Nigeria’s resources in increasing domestic access.
Kyari stated that the country will focus on using its oil and gas resources to develop infrastructure as long as the commodity remains relevant, which he approximated will be so for about 40 years. To this end, he noted that the country, with its significant gas reserves, has approximately $3 -

The use of advanced nuclear technologies could help the world meet increasing electricity demand whilst reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, the deployment and commercialisation of advanced reactors faces many challenges, according to a discussion on nuclear innovation at the
Atlantic Council Global Energy Forum.
The participants in the session on Nuclear Innovation: Projections for the Next Decade on 20 January Just as the original prototypes do not resemble today s solar panels and wind turbines, tomorrow s nuclear looks very different from the plants of today, said session moderator Jackie Kempfer, senior policy advisor for Third Way s climate and energy programme and non-resident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council s Global Energy Center. The next generation of nuclear power promises to be more cost-effective and safer than ever, she said.
