Diverse Technological Pathways Required: Decarbonising these sectors demands a range of innovative technologies beyond simple electrification, such as sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) for aviation or carbon capture solutions for cement production, often requiring significant energy inputs.. 3.
Approaching our decarbonisation challenges in this way means we’re more likely to succeed, and we’ll do so faster.That’s hugely important because we only have 28 years left to achieve this transition globally.. At the moment we’re standing at the cusp of a huge opportunity, with a whole new avenue of potential.
Nuclear energy’s ability to make both heat and power means we can really start to dig into these tough to decarbonize sectors: industrial heat, domestic heating, desalination, fuels, and repowering coal.What a lot of new technologies really need is simply large amounts of clean heat and power.Once we achieve that, we’ll create a domino effect that unlocks other elements..
The good news is that we’re starting to see a lot of interest in these types of strategies from governments, policy makers, investors, other NGOs and customers.For example, airlines have shown significant interest in the prospect of having clean, drop-in, substitute fuels that are comparable in price and performance to existing fuels.
That’s not something which is on offer to them in the current conversation around sustainable fuel..
Likewise, the oil industry and oil producing nations are coming to a point where they’re having to seriously begin thinking about their transition strategies.and MMC Lead for the.

But state governments need to do more to support it.At the moment, Victoria is going in one direction.
