Which New Nuclear Routes to Market will be covered?The New Nuclear Summit 2025 will explore multiple pathways for commercialising next-generation nuclear technologies. Key routes to market include: ⚡ Powering Data Centres & AI Infrastructure – With the exponential growth of AI and digital services, energy-intensive data centres are looking for reliable, low-carbon power sources. New nuclear, including Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Reactors, offers a scalable, 24/7 clean energy solution to support the rising demand for digital infrastructure. 🏭 Industrial Decarbonisation – Heavy industries such as steel, cement, and chemical manufacturing require high-temperature, consistent energy. Next-gen nuclear can provide carbon-free heat and power, helping industries transition away from fossil fuels. 💨 Hydrogen Production – Nuclear-powered high-temperature electrolysis and thermochemical cycles can produce low-carbon hydrogen at scale, a critical element in achieving net-zero ambitions across multiple sectors, including transport and industry. 🌍 Energy Security & Grid Stability – As grids integrate more intermittent renewables, nuclear provides a stable baseload energy source that enhances grid reliability and supports national energy security strategies. 🌊 Offshore & Marine Applications – Floating and offshore nuclear technologies are emerging as innovative solutions for energy production in remote locations, islands, and offshore industrial operations. These reactors can power offshore wind farms, oil & gas platforms, and maritime industries, enhancing energy resilience in coastal and deep-sea applications. 🏗️ Desalination & Emerging Applications – In regions facing water scarcity, nuclear reactors can be used for large-scale desalination, providing clean water solutions alongside energy production.
-
