What to Expect
The world’s pursuit of short-term decarbonization goals will see a surge in intermittent renewables like solar and wind energy, the cheapest low-carbon power sources at our disposal. However, this dash to meet short-term objectives presents grid reliability challenges in the long run, which can be avoided using a holistic approach that involves stable and continuous low-carbon power sources that support intermittent renewables. Nuclear energy is a high-energy-dense option that ticks this box, but despite a resurgence due to geopolitical events, fission remains an iffy subject that is both expensive to deploy and difficult to obtain public backing for; on the other hand, nuclear fusion, which is cleaner and denser than nuclear fission, faces several obstacles before it can become economically viable. Â
In this Ideathon, we will explore the value proposition of nuclear energy for decarbonized power and heat generation as countries race against time to decarbonize and meet net-zero targets. Â
