Japan aims to increase its annual hydrogen supply, including imports, to 3 million tons by 2030, up from about 2 million tons currently. Hydrogen is seen as the green fuel of choice for the future and key to decarbonizing industries that depend on coal, gas and oil. This is also key to Japan's goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.
French President Emmanuel Macron inaugurates the country's first offshore wind farm. The wind farm will be able to generate at least 500 megawatts of electricity, equivalent to "5% of what we're missing on our coldest days right now".

A coal-to-nuclear (C2N) transition could help boost U.S. nuclear capacity beyond 350 GWe, a report found. The current US nuclear fleet has a total capacity of 95 GWe. 80% of potential sites are suitable for accommodating advanced nuclear power plants of different sizes and types, depending on the size of the site being retrofitted. Coal power plant owners and their communities have economic potential in the C2N transition, according to a new report. Using existing land, grid connections, office buildings, electrical equipment and civil infrastructure can also save millions of dollars in upfront costs. The report underwent independent peer review by experts in systems engineering and regional economic modeling.
While countries seek alternative energy, people's interest in nuclear energy is growing. From a disaster in Fukushima, Japan, concerns for his safety is growing. The Russian invasion of Ukraine will put pressure on energy supply, and Europe hopes that it will end its addiction to Russian oil and natural gas. Some experts believe that nuclear energy should not be viewed as a choice, but others believe that it still has to be part of the world's energy "basket". Nuclear energy is no longer a taboo topic. The parenting group said that this is one of the best choices in the world to avoid climate change because it does not broadcast directly carbon dioxide.
