Nuclear power in China is steaming ahead
Please, Log in or Register to view URLs content!
most important part to watch is this.
Installed capacity of nuclear power under operation is expected to reach 70 million kilowatts by 2025 from the current 55.8 million kW and nuclear power is expected to account for 10 percent of China's total power generation by 2035, compared with 5 percent in 2021

Hualong-1 reactor is operating well. 2 plants are connected and 10 more under construction (with 2 more likely to get connected this year)

With all that excessive renewable energy in Western provinces, it makes a lot of sensor to generate green hydrogen from that. I would also think Gansu and Qinghai would be other candidates for green hydrogen

In general, it makes sense to put solar panels in places like Gobi desert.

They need a lot more of these plants since China is currently producing 33 million t of hydrogen fuel every year and this plant only produces 500k t a year.

Although according to this, China was at 24 million t in 2020. That is far away the most in the world.

Another fuel cell going forward is Ammonia. @FairAndUnbiased has mentioned this before. China really dominates this field

China has over 80 million MTPY ammonia production capacity, which is almost 40% of global ammonia production capacity.

China also building methanol production plant from carbon capture.

Seems like in general, ammonia and methanol production from green energy is still in nascent stage, but it will have to happen in the future, since there are still many industrial and farming products that cannot be replaced by electricity.

(LUX, France) — Once, a river ran through it. Now, white dust and thousands of dead fish cover the wide trench that winds amid rows of trees in France’s Burgundy region in what was the Tille River in the village of Lux.

From dry and cracked reservoirs in Spain to falling water levels on major arteries like the Danube, the Rhine and the Po, an unprecedented drought is afflicting nearly half of the European continent. It is damaging farm economies, forcing water restrictions,

and threatening aquatic species.

There has been no significant rainfall for almost two months in Western, Central, and Southern Europe. In typically rainy Britain, the government officially declared a drought across southern and central England on Friday amid one of the

on record.

And Europe’s dry period is expected to continue in what experts say could be the worst drought in 500 years.

Climate change is exacerbating conditions as hotter temperatures speed up evaporation, thirsty plants take in more moisture and reduced snowfall in the winter limits supplies of fresh water available for irrigation in the summer. Europe isn’t alone in the crisis, with drought conditions also reported in East Africa, the

and northern Mexico.

Climate change will make such droughts worse and longer lasting. Their inaction and climate conspiracies have destroyed the possibility of mitigation. Now it's gonna be about adaptation. Good luck.

here is how ammonia can be used for engines.

1. diesel engines

Europa is also facing dust stroms from Africa. It will impact Wineries and Tourism. French already had losses even last year.

Just because there are cloud with thunderstorm in the sky does not mean there will be required amount of precipitation. not only air temperature but temperature on the ground also matters.
