  • Canada’s roadmap for small modular reactors.

    Canada’s roadmap for small modular reactors.

    Canada’s government is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by the year 2050, and meeting this goal includes a call for sustainable energy sources. Nuclear energy is one such zero-emission energy technology, and small modular reactors (SMRs) are particularly fit for this purpose. As per the Canadian Roadmap for Small Modular Reactors: SMRs respond to these…

  • Canada’s decarbonization plans.

    Canada’s decarbonization plans.

    Canada’s greenhouse gas reduction targets in the buildings industry cannot be met unless the country’s existing commercial and public buildings are decarbonized by 2050. The buildings also need ongoing net zero operation, but the country is currently experiencing a 30% reduction in trained building operators post-pandemic. The International Energy Agency, which monitors clean energy progress around the…
