China faces urgent challenges from climate change and aims to peak carbon emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Coal-fired power dominates today’s energy mix, but nuclear energy is a key low-carbon solution offering stable, full-load power without the intermittency of renewables.
Advanced nuclear technologies enable not only electricity generation but also heating, hydrogen production, and desalination, supporting a clean, diversified energy system for China’s sustainable future.
The Repower Initiative underscores that repowering coal infrastructure with nuclear energy represents a viable path to fast, large-scale decarbonization. Supporting China’s innovative adoption of advanced nuclear technologies strengthens global energy security and accelerates the transition toward a sustainable energy system.
