Thereby, we completely forego coal-based electricity and obtain our electrical energy from only renewable sources. New plants in Germany and Europe are planned with a CO 2 -neutral energy supply from the start: Already, the entire electricity demand of the smart plant in Hambach (France) is obtained from renewable energy sources.

is building two fast-neutron nuclear breeder reactors, the first of which is slated to connect to the grid in 2023, the second in 2026. Liquid sodium is used as a coolant because it does not slow down neutrons as much as water does. Jutting out from the coast of China’s Fujian province, Changbiao Island may seem small and unremarkable.

The carbon-free rigs will pack 50 kilos of hydrogen zapped from water using electricity from the refinery’s dedicated solar power plant. And while coal plants still supplied over half of Australia’s power in 2021, change is afoot. 150 GW of wind and solar generation—more than the total installed generating capacity of France.

“At the same time, it’s becoming apparent that alternative-fuel solutions we’re looking at have big drawbacks, and that producing these fuels will take a lot of green power that will be needed to replace coal and gas on shore. Another plus for nuclear-propelled ships is easy access to an endless supply of cooling water.

In France, for example, the hydrogen producer Lhyfe is operating a pilot project called SEM-REV off the coast of Saint-Nazaire, which has been producing small amounts of hydrogen since September 2022. The technology to produce hydrogen by electrolyzing water has been around for more than 200 years.

Some continue to burn coal, for example, because there are no other economically feasible choices for them. “We Efficient coal-burning plants Shutting down coal power plants completely is unlikely to happen anytime soon, he predicted, especially since many countries are building new ones that have 40-year life spans.
