The Dutch marine contractor says it plans to outfit its construction vessels with small modular reactors over 5 years.

The contracts build on Cairo’s decades-long strategic energy alliance with Moscow, which will soon include nuclear energy.

If optimized to scale, fast fission reactors could play a role in reducing emissions in field operations by producing carbon-free electricity.

Pink hydrogen, produced through water electrolysis powered by nuclear energy, recently drew attention which underscored the complexity of decision-making in advancing such projects.

Honda Motors invests in fusion in hopes of finding ways to recharge EVs at scale.

Picking up the pace of innovation and demonstration of advanced nuclear reactors is required if nuclear is to play a role in decarbonization beyond electricity by providing low-carbon heat or hydrogen.

The strategic agreement puts the partners’ joint activities on a more certain path to connecting the first fusion power plant based on magnetic confinement to the electrical grid by early 2030.
