世界的に、低炭素エネルギー資源は、気候変動と戦い、パリ気候サミットの宣言、特に炭素排出のネットゼロ目標の遵守を確実にするためにますます重要になってきています。原子力は、その高いエネルギー密度、再生可能エネルギー源と比較した場合の低い土地占有面積、化石燃料発電所とのコスト競争力から、重要な役割を果たすことができます。しかし、原子力発電所の安全性には以前から懸念がありました。このため、業界各社は原子炉の安全性を高めるため、プラント設計に継続的な変更を加えています。
当レポートでは、原子力利用の技術動向と先進性について調査し、市場の概要とともに、戦略的インペラティブ、成長の機会などを提供しています。
Next-generation Nuclear Technologies Promote Carbon Neutrality and Hydrogen Economy Growth Opportunities
Globally, low-carbon energy resources are increasingly critical to combat climate change and ensure adherence to the Paris Climate Summit declarations, especially net zero carbon emissions targets. Nuclear energy can play a critical role due to its high energy density, low land footprint compared to renewable energy sources, and cost competitiveness with fossil-fueled power plants. However, there have long been concerns surrounding the safety of nuclear power plants. This has prompted industry players to make continuous changes in plant design to enhance the safety profile of reactors. There are also significant R&D efforts in plant miniaturization, notably the development of small modular reactors, to make nuclear energy a key tool in decarbonizing the energy and industrial sector. The nuclear industry is also gearing up for its next growth phase by developing Generation IV reactors, which involve changes in the working fluid, coolants, operating temperatures, and power output, among others.
With the recent downturn in geopolitical stability in Europe, high natural gas prices, and efforts to ensure energy security, nuclear power is set to record strong growth in upcoming years. The study describes the major technology trends, growth drivers, and restraints in next-generation nuclear energy technologies. It also offers a detailed growth opportunity analysis and explores the key stakeholders developing advanced nuclear plant designs, including Generation III - III+ and Generation IV reactors. The study analyzes the global patent landscape for nuclear fission technologies and highlights the main patent owners/applicants and major research areas.
