Summary
The world is witnessing a significant shift in the energy landscape, as countries strive to achieve their climate goals and reduce their carbon footprint. In this context, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Micro Modular Reactors (MMRs) have emerged as promising solutions for meeting the growing demand for clean, reliable, and affordable energy. These innovative nuclear power technologies offer a range of applications, from powering ships to providing electricity and heat to urban areas, demonstrating their versatility and potential to transform the way we generate and consume energy.
SMRs and MMRs can contribute to the decarbonization of district heating systems, which are responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas. By replacing fossil fuel-based heat sources with nuclear power, cities can significantly reduce their carbon emissions and improve air quality. This is particularly relevant for countries with cold climates, where heating accounts for a large portion of energy consumption.
