SMR: Capturing & Utilizing Carbon's Potential
Taming the Beast: How Carbon Capture & Utilization Can Power a Sustainable SMR Future Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) are poised to revolutionize the energy landscape. Compact, scalable, and inherently safer than traditional reactors, they offer a compelling solution for decarbonizing industries and meeting growing energy demands. But even with their clean energy promise, SMRs generate carbon emissions during operation. Enter Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU), a technology that can transform SMRs into true champions of sustainability. Understanding the Challenge: While SMRs are significantly cleaner than fossil fuel-based power plants, they still produce CO2 as a byproduct of nuclear fission. Without mitigation strategies, these emissions could undermine the environmental benefits of SMR deployment. Enter CCU: The Game Changer: CCU encompasses technologies...
