优化碳中和政策路径下核能的新角色、新作用和新价值

Abstract:In 2021，the operating nuclear power capacity in the world is getting smaller，but the nuclear energy plays a more and more important role in the carbon neutral roadmap of more countries. This report concludes the change of nuclear energy roadmap for different countries，summarizes the low-carbon properties of nuclear energy，compares nuclear energy with new energy in the aspect of the grid-friendly property，the cost of the electrical end-users and the support of the strategy of energy security for each country，and analyzes the new roles，new effects，and new values of nuclear energy under the environment of the optimization of the global carbon neutral roadmap. Nuclear energy is a capable low-carbon electrical power source，which can help reduce the dependence on fossil fuels. It’s also a stable and economical clean energy，which can cooperates with renewable energy to give plays to social and economical values. Besides，nuclear energy is a mature carbon neutral technique，which embodies the international competitiveness of a country in the energy sector. For this purpose，each major countries stand firm to develop nuclear energy，the technical innovation investment of nuclear energy doesn’t decrease，all of above，the recovery of the global nuclear energy is beginning. Nuclear energy will plays an unique role in the future electrical system，especially when the world works diligently to achieve the climate goal and to guarantee energy security of supplement. Therefore，we should stand firm to the “active，safe and well-organized development of nuclear energy” policy，focus on developing the SMR，MNSR，and advanced reactor，and expand the application in hydrogen production，heating and desalination in order to play a new role，create new value of and make new distribution to achieving the sustainable development and the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals.
