The impact of coal to nuclear on regional energy system
September 25, 2024
This study examines the effects of converting coal-fired power plants to nuclear (C2N) on Guangdong Province's energy system. Through three hypothetical scenarios, it finds that increased nuclear capacity reduces fuel consumption, costs, and carbon emissions, potentially achieving near energy self-sufficiency by 2060. C2N is highlighted as a key strategy for carbon reduction and sustainable energy development.
