groups stand behind carbon-free
nuclear energy, the support for nuclear
has never been so vast and varied.
Some of the smartest thinkers of
our time are calling on us to see
nuclear energy for its potential to
change the world.
It’s time we listen.

EU needs all low-carbon
sources to achieve its 2050
decarbonisation goals
(foratom) Reflecting on how low-carbon
technologies can help the European
Union achieve its 2050 decarbonisation
objectives and what the needs of the
industrial sector are when it comes to
increased electrification were the main
topics discussed during an event hosted
in Brussels by the Permanent Representation
of Romania to the EU and
organised in the context of the country’s
Presidency of the Council.
The event “Solutions for a 2050
Carbon- free Europe”, organised by the
Romanian Ministry of Energy in cooperation
with FORATOM and the Romanian
Atomic Forum (ROMATOM),
gathered together more than 100 representatives
of EU Member States, EU
institutions and power industries. The
conference provided participants with a
platform to exchange views on how
low-carbon technologies can together
contribute to reaching EU climate goals.
During his keynote speech, EU Commissioner
for Climate Action & Energy
Miguel Arias Cañete stated that by 2050
the deployment of renewables and a
stable share of nuclear energy is the solution
to make the European power sector
carbon- free. He also underlined that the
role of low-carbon technologies is essential
in reaching carbon-neutrality.
This approach was echoed by the
Ro manian Minister of Energy Anton
Anton, who – in his introductory speech
– reiterated that all low-carbon energy
sources need to be explored in the
future in order to ensure a sustainable
development of economy. He also stated
that Europe has already managed to
achieve a lot in this field, also thanks to
the contribution of nuclear energy.
Fabien Roques, Executive Vice President
of FTI Compass Lexecon Energy
presented in detail a recent study
entitled “Pathways to 2050: role of
nuclear in a low-carbon Europe”, commissioned
by FORATOM pro viding the
vision for the nuclear sector by midcentury.
According to the study,
nuclear energy provides an important
contribution to an efficient transition
towards a decarbonised European
power system as it can help ensure
compliance with EU emissions targets,
avoid temporary increase of emissions
and locking in fossil fuels investments.
The complementarity role of nuclear
for renewables was also emphasised.
