At the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan (COP29) 2050 net zero The importance of nuclear energy to achieve the goal was once again strongly expressed. It was initiated by the USA at COP28 held in Dubai last year and signed by leading countries in the field of nuclear power, such as France, Japan and South Korea.Declaration to Triple Nuclear Energy6 more countries signed this year. One of the signatories is Türkiye happened.

The declaration aims to increase the share of nuclear energy, which is at the center of the global agenda, in electricity production. With this signature, Turkey, like other party countries, has pledged to work together to triple the global nuclear energy installed capacity in 2050 compared to 2020.

There is consensus that nuclear energy plays a key role in helping the world achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2050 and limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees. In this context, the number of countries that signed the declaration has increased to 31.

Türkiye will be an important player in nuclear energy in current and future projects. It is currently under construction and has a total capacity of 4.8 GW. Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant(NGS) first reactor 2025 It is intended to come into play. Akkuyu NPP by the end of 2028 It is planned to be operational at full capacity. When Akkuyu NPP comes into operation, it will be able to meet Turkey’s electricity needs alone. 10 percent will meet.

Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar in his statement Sinop ve Thrace to build two more nuclear power plants in their regions, to build new generation plants next to the large nuclear power plants. small modular reactors He said they plan to include it as well. 20 GW nuclear by 2050 We believe that we will contribute to the net zero emission target by commissioning our installed capacity.” he said.

Nuclear energy will be tripled

According to World Nuclear Association data, nuclear energy currently provides approximately 9 percent of the world’s electricity from around 440 power plants. Power plants installed in 31 countries provided 2602 TWh of electricity in 2023. The total installed power capacity is 400 GW around.

Target according to COP targets by 2050 this 1200 GW’a subtract. The USA announced that it will add an additional 200 GW to its nuclear installed capacity. Most countries that signed the declaration will also increase their nuclear capacity significantly by 2050.
