With the world looking to decarbonize its electricity, nations and corporations are making stronger commitments and drawing up plans to reduce emissions across their operations. While the largest electric utilities in the United States are making net-zero commitments, other economic sectors present challenges to decarbonize through process heat, clean hydrogen, and a myriad of other strategies. This plenary will present the current options for decarbonization, as well as where industry leaders believe nuclear can maximally contribute with firm, reliable, carbon-free energy.
