Expert voices - Nuclear power: a low-carbon energy and a powerful ally in the fight against climate chaos
Philippe Knoche, Orano CEO and François-Marie Bréon, Climatologist and Researcher at the Laboratory of Climate and Environmental Sciences, discuss one of the major challenges of the 21st century: how to effectively combat climate change. To help rise to this challenge, nuclear energy holds a number of advantages: it is controllable and emits very little CO2. It arguably has a major role to play in a low-carbon energy mix, along with renewable energies.
- Nuclear energy and climate challenges The capacity of nuclear energy to guarantee low-carbon electricity generation is invaluable to deal with the climate emergency
- All about the IPCC report on climate change To achieve the goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5°C by 2100, the four IPCC pathways all concur on the need to increase the use of nuclear energy.
- Nuclear power and renewable energies: a winning combination for the climate Nuclear power and renewables... People often oppose them, even though they both contribute to the low-carbon energy transition that everyone is calling for to fight global warming.
