End Energy Users Panel – How partnerships between nuclear energy and high energy users can decarbonize the entire economy
On Energy Day of COP29, attention will be on the urgent need to decarbonize all areas of our energy systems, not just electricity grids, but non-grid uses and hard to abate sectors that require heat and high temperature steam.
15 November 2024 5:00 PM - 5:45 PM Net Zero Nuclear Pavilion, Blue Zone, Baku, COP29

On Energy Day of COP29, attention will be on the urgent need to decarbonize all areas of our energy systems, not just electricity grids, but non-grid uses and hard to abate sectors that require heat and high temperature steam.   

Nuclear energy is well placed among low-carbon energy options to supply both heat and power 24/7. Closing the implementation gap can be driven not just by government policy, but by partnerships with end energy users. 

Recent announcements from the digital technology sector, such as Amazon and Google’s partnerships with X-Energy and Kairos Power, respectively, as well as Microsoft’s agreement to restart Three Mile Island, highlight the role of nuclear power for clean and constant energy. Beyond powering data centres, there are many other applications, including industrial processes for petro-chemicals, steel and hydrogen. Partnerships between businesses and the nuclear industry will be vital to delivering projects and the transition to a low-carbon economy.  

Moderator:

King Lee, Head of Policy and Industry Engagement, World Nuclear Association

Panellists: 

  • Jeff Olson, Vice President of Business Development, Kairos Power
  • Caroline Bono, Senior researcher and project lead, EDF
