In this study, two types of SMRs were investigated: high-temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) and pressurized water reactors (PWRs). An analysis of necessary regulatory and legislative changes in South Korea’s nuclear framework is presented, identifying several key regulatory issues for repowering coal with nuclear energy.
The Indonesian government officially supports retrofitting coal-fired power plants with nuclear technologies in its National Electricity Plan (RUKN) 2025-2060. The plan, signed by President Prabowo Subianto, and written by Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (ESDM) outlines the country’s ambitious strategies for its power sector.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) works with governments and industry to recommend policies which advance a “secure and sustainable energy future for all”. They have just released a research report entitled ‘The Future of Geothermal Energy’.
PGE CEO Dariusz Marzec has said that “We are convinced that the competences of the people in the Bełchatów region and the energy infrastructure deserve to be taken very seriously when choosing the location of the next nuclear power plant in Poland.”
Repowering CFPPs with Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can rapidly accelerate China towards achieving net-zero, there are viable case studies which demonstrate the enormous potential of this innovative pathway, and the technological development in this field looks extremely promising.
The paper optimizes a molten‑salt TES peak‑shaving retrofit for a 600 MW supercritical CFPP by coupling an integrated MSTES model with two energy‑saving devices: a No. 0 high‑pressure heater (HPH) and a front steam cooler (FSC).
South Korea’s reduction path to carbon neutrality is a crucial aspect of the global energy transition, yet there are complex challenges.

Prabowo Subianto, President of Indonesia (the fourth most populous country in the world after India, China, and the US), announced last week at the G20 Summit in Brazil a bold vision to achieve net-zero emissions 10 years earlier than previously planned—moving the net-zero target from 2060 to 2050.
The CTC’s first report sets out a practical plan to cut emissions from existing coal power and enable just, country‑driven coal‑to‑clean transitions. It highlights four levers for legacy coal fleets—early retirement, repurposing for flexibility, CCUS retrofits, and co‑firing low‑emissions fuels.
As China accelerates the deployment of wind and solar at unprecedented scale, the challenge is shifting from building clean power to ensuring the system can flex to accommodate it. This IEA report explores how China’s power system must evolve to manage rising variability and enable a reliable, low-carbon grid through 2030. The report examines how…
While nothing beats attending in person, we couldn’t help but share a short snapshot of our 2-day event in Seoul, South Korea, hoping this will be the last time you miss it!
