#Part4CM The project highlights the importance of transition to renewable energy sources for environmental protection

In 2020, global generation from renewable energy sources (RES) exceeded nuclear power for the first time in terms of production. In terms of climate, nuclear power and renewables do not compete with each other. The demand for electricity will be sufficient to support a significant expansion of each zero-carbon electricity generation technology. Nuclear power may even become important for deep decarbonization in other sectors.

In particular, BloombergNEF recently published three scenarios for achieving a zero net emissions energy sector by 2050. One of them involves the large-scale deployment of small modular nuclear reactors designed to complement wind, solar and thermal technologies. This scenario envisages nuclear power applied not only to electricity but also to hydrogen production.

The project «RO-UA Partnership for Climate Change Mitigation» (RO-UA PART4CM) project is financed by the European Union through the European Neighborhood Instrument and co-financed by countries participating in the ENI CBC Romania-Ukraine 2014-2020 Program «Romania-Ukraine 2014-2020».
