Surging AI needs and geopolitical supply shocks renew attention on nuclear energy
Nuclear energy offers an always-on supply of power that may be able to address gaps in renewables and fossil-fuel energy. Policymakers are taking notice.
The World Economic Forum’s Advanced Energy Solutions industry community engages leaders that drive the energy transition in frontier segments of the energy system. The community aims to accelerate, from decades to years, the deployment at industrial scale of advanced solutions such as clean fuels and hydrogen, advanced nuclear, storage and carbon removal.
The community helps:
- inform debate on advanced energy,
- provide a platform to engage across technology and energy producers, energy users and investors,
- address regulation and policy.
