The worldwide movement to minimize climate change by curtailing carbon emissions impacts every industry, including power generation. GEH stands as a pioneer in one of the most effective methods to address this important issue: nuclear energy generation. Providing dispatchable power places, nuclear power is vital to meeting the world’s energy needs while mitigating excess greenhouse gases.
200 gigawatts (GWs) of all carbon-free power is generated from GEH BWRs every day
25% of worldwide carbon-free power generation from nuclear power
60 gigatons of reduced CO2 emissions from nuclear over the past 50 years
GEH knows that the power sector serves as a model for other industries around the world. We believe that zero-carbon solutions—such as nuclear power—can contribute to a more decarbonized, energy secure future. Nuclear power offers tremendous potential to help cut carbon emissions with the speed and scale the world requires.
