#energy sector

[julyrudy]

Writing about the change in perception of nuclear energy in Europe as the main ex-opposer of this energy generation. It was quite exhausting to learn about energy sector from scratch. I’m so tired and scared that I won't make it to the deadline.

Nuclear goes retro — with a much greener outlook

Returning to designs abandoned in the 1970s, start-ups are developing a new kind of reactor that promises to be much safer and cleaner than current ones.

Nice article on molten salt reactors that is easy enough from lay people to understand but also technical enough to address what is fundamentally different between this style of reactor and the currently deployed ones. I do suggest reading the whole thing, but quick summary:

Molten salt reactors can’t melt down because they’re already using molten salt. can’t melt what’s already a liquid! and they can’t flash to a gas either. If it loses power due to an accident, it grinds to a halt instead of venting to the sky. They can run off existing nuclear waste to greatly reduce time that’s deadly. They don’t produce material that can be turned into weapons grade nuclear material.

Most importantly they can run at WAY, WAY higher temperatures than current water cooled plants and thus be used for some industrial processes that had been relying on fossil fuels for required high heat. That high heat type process accounts for about 1/3 of US energy consumption, so it is BIG DEAL.

GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS:  Recently the World Resources Institute (WRI) updated its CAIT Climate Data Explorer on the world’s top greenhouse gas-emitting countries with the latest global data available (2013). An interactive chart on the WRI website explores the trends by country and by economic sector. As shown above, top emitters have changed in recent years:

1) The Top 3 Emitters Contribute 14 Times the Emissions of the Bottom 100

The top three greenhouse gas emitters— China, the European Union and the United States—contribute more than half of total global emissions, while the bottom 100 countries only account for 3.5 percent. Collectively, the top 10 emitters account for nearly three-quarters of global emissions. 

2) The Energy Sector remains the Major Culprit

Over the past 10 years, the energy sector has remained the largest contributor to emissions over any other sector, representing 72 percent of global emissions in 2013.

3) Some Major Emitters are Reversing their Trends

Even with that growth of emissions from 2012-2013 by top emitters, if we expand the timescale, their combined emissions have remained the same for the past decade. In that time, the United States peaked its emissions in 2007, and the European Union, the third-largest emitter, saw steady reductions. Others have stabilized their emissions over the last 10 years, including Russia and Canada.
