A new report, “Synchronizing energy transitions towards possible Net-Zero for India: Affordable and clean energy for all”, has been launched by Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) to the Government of India. The report was prepared by the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad (IIMA) under a project agreed in November 2021 by the PSA Office. The aims of the project were to carry out a comprehensive study looking at methods for minimising the cost of power at the consumer end and to work out an optimum mix for all sources of power to reach net-zero emissions.

A US Department of Energy (DOE) report has suggested pairing advanced reactors with carbon dioxide removal technologies, including direct air capture. DOE says advanced reactors could lower the levelised cost of certain direct air capture technologies by up to 13% compared with non-nuclear-powered systems. This could also boost reactor performance and market feasibility.
