Canada investing $20M in Terrestrial Energy to support development of Integral Molten Salt SMR. Navdeep Bains, announced a $20 million investment in Terrestrial Energy to accelerate development of the company’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) power plant. The IMSR uses molten salt as coolant and fuel.

This could mean nearly a quarter of the UK’s total power demands being met by low-carbon, secure nuclear energy, supporting the UK’s energy security, and contributing to net zero targets. Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are an AMR type that use a molten salt as a coolant and fuel, leading to intrinsic safety compared with conventional fuels.

The shipping industry has been trying to cut its carbon emissions for years, and with little to show for it. Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion.

Researchers at Stanford University have devised a new strategy for using CO 2 in the synthesis of multi-carbon compounds. CO 2 reacts readily with carbon-centered nucleophiles—a chemical intermediate species that donates an electron pair to an electrophile to form a chemical bond in relation to a reaction.

2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. We’ll still have to do the hard work of cutting carbon emissions, but geoengineering could be a way to buy us some time.
