Encouraging to see that Google has become the latest big tech company to explore #nuclearpower as a solution for the growing demand for low-carbon, reliable energy, driven by the rapid expansion of data centres. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates the centres already account for 1% of global emissions, with usage projected to double by 2026. Sundar Pichai, CEO, revealed that Google's carbon emissions have surged by 48% since 2019, largely due to the rise of AI-related data usage. To address this challenge, Google is investigating the potential of SMRs to help achieve its ambitious goal of achieving #netzero by 2030. This move follows similar #nuclearenergy initiatives by other giants like Amazon and Microsoft and underscores the critical need for innovative energy solutions to support #sustainable growth in the digital age.

We are thrilled to announce the next step of our capacity expansion program with the installation of new centrifuges at our Urenco USA site in Eunice. This initiative will deliver an additional 700,000 SWU per year, increasing Eunice’s enrichment capacity by 15%. The first centrifuge cascade is anticipated to be brought online in 2025, so watch this space for more developments. Our CEO, Boris Schucht, emphasized the strategic importance of this development: "Our facility in Eunice is ideally located to serve our US customers and the wider global market, helping to meet energy security and decarbonization goals" Urenco’s capacity program, which aims to strengthen the #nuclearfuel supply chain both in the US and globally will deliver 1.8 million SWU across three projects, including two others at Urenco’s sites in Germany and the Netherlands. Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting delegates, including state and federal representatives, who joined a milestone celebration to celebrate the installation of the first new centrifuges. Stay tuned for more capacity expansion updates as we continue to power the #nuclearenergy future with #sustainable and secure solutions. Read more: https://lnkd.in/escz4-NZ

We welcome the publication of the updated Pathways to 2050 Report. The report’s conclusions demonstrate that to meet the EU’s decarbonisation and #energy security goals, investment is needed in both the long-term operation of the current fleet and the construction of new #nuclear capacity. https://ow.ly/m1l850TIBoP
More nuclear enables faster decarbonisation & greater security of supply

Thanks WoodoaksFarm for a lovely afternoon of volunteering. Fourteen colleagues braved changeable weather to pull weeds, spread mulch and enjoy an educational tour of the beautiful farm and its enterprises. It was a fantastic opportunity to see where Urenco’s support is helping to promote sustainable practices, as Woodoaks is transitioning to become fully organic, and encouraging organisations that are passionate about working towards a net zero future.

We're thrilled to share the experience of our YPN team at the International Youth Nuclear Congress in Abu Dhabi 🇦🇪 #IYNC2024. During the past three days, our young professionals have been immersed in nuclear discussions from topics that span the entire industry while having the unique opportunity to experience the local culture. Here are some highlights: 💬 Our team have been privileged to listen to speakers discussing global challenges from energy demand, clean water desalination, through to the creation of reliable vaccines for animals to support farming and agriculture and the use of AI and robots within the nuclear sector. 🌐 Our team have been networking along 300 professionals from different 47 countries, expanding our global connections. 👩💼 Members of the team attended the Women in Nuclear IAEA (WiN IAEA) dinner, fostering connections and supporting inclusion and diversity. 🏙️ The team explored the stunning architecture of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque. This conference embodies the spirit of innovation and cultural exchange that Urenco values. A big thank you to the organisation and all the amazing people our team connected with so far!

Thames Hospice welcomed colleagues from our head office for a day's volunteering in the charity's Home Studio centre in Maidenhead. The team worked hard repairing, sanding and painting items of furniture to give them a new lease of life. This enables the charity to resell them, raising much needed funds for hospice care. Employees are gifted a full day of volunteering every year by Urenco. Thanks also go out to our head office donations panel which contributed £750 to the charity's funds in recognition of the team's efforts.
