Nuclear now part of the EU Green Taxonomy
06/07/2022
Today, the European Parliament listened to science and facts and voted YES to label nuclear energy investments as green. Science is clear and undisputed: nuclear power production is in line with the Do No Significant Harm Principle and does not emit CO2 (EU – Joint Research Center, March 2021), and yes, nuclear must play an essential role in achieving net-zero (IEA, June 2022). In fact, in many places around the world, net-zero will not be possible without nuclear, and therefore it is encouraging that the EU today sent a strong signal to include nuclear as a part of the climate toolbox.
“We believe this will be of great importance for our efforts here at Seaborg, where we are re-thinking nuclear by developing next-generation inexpensive, safe, and scalable nuclear reactors to be installed on turnkey power barges for global deployment,” says Troels Schønfeldt, CEO and co-founder of Seaborg.
