Nuclear Power Report Sees Rosy Future for Uranium

A nuclear fuel report that was launched earlier last month at the World Nuclear Association Annual Symposium highlights that the generation capacity of nuclear energy is predicted to increase by almost 3% annually, reaching roughly 610 GWe in the next two decades. By 2030, nuclear capacity is anticipated to have reached 439 GWe. At the moment, global nuclear capacity is about 395 GWe. This report was written by Exelon Generation’s James Nevling and Tenex’s Alexander Boytsov, with input provided by more than 80 experts from the international nuclear industry. It relies on publicly available data gathered from organizations that actively…

Power Price Fluctuations Create Opportunities for Battery Storage Investments

As more countries adopt the use of clean energies, disparities between the demand and supply are expected to drive more returns for the funds specializing in battery energy storage systems as well as for battery energy storage systems. Berenberg analysts expect that the returns of battery energy storage systems for funds such as Gresham House Energy Storage Fund and Gore Street Energy Storage Fund will remain high as a portion of their revenues are associated with power price volatility and they are dependent on the growth of electricity markets. The analysts note that both Gresham House Energy Storage and Gore…

Notorious Reddit Investor Forum Picks Interest in Uranium Stocks

Nuclear energy is one of the safest and cleanest energies to use given that it has a virtually nonexistent carbon footprint. However, nuclear disasters that have occurred in the past such as Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima Daiichi, have made its use less than popular. The long half-life of radioactive nuclear waste doesn’t help this energy’s profile in the public eye as more nuclear plants around the globe get decommissioned. Despite this, nuclear energy kills far fewer individuals than fossil fuels, with estimates showing that coal energy kills more than 300 times as many individuals per terawatt-hour of energy…

Key Attributes of Utility-Scale Battery Storage Systems

As the adoption of clean energies continues and more countries work toward decreasing their emissions and attaining their targets, the popularity of battery storage technology grows. Battery storage technology allows utilities and power system operators to store energy for future use, which may come in handy in the event of unexpected outages or failures. An energy storage system works by collecting energy from a power plant or grid and then discharging it at a later time, providing electricity and other grid services when required. There exist various battery chemistries available for grid-scale applications, including molten salt, redox flow and lithium-ion…

An Overview of Gold Production in 2020

Last year, the price of gold set a new record when it sold for $2,000 per ounce, which gave miners a boost in profitability. However, the pandemic caused various mines across the globe to shut down, which in turn impacted the production of the precious metal. Before gold is used in its numerous applications, such as jewelry, etc., it has to undergo a challenging production process, which usually starts with mining. Mining this precious metal is an international business. However, only a trio of countries, namely Russia, Australia and China, dominated gold production last year. The countries’ production of this…
