Abstract
Worldwide, nuclear power remains part of national energy strategies in the context of climate policy, energy security, and decarbonization debates. Expansion plans are often linked to the low-carbon nature of nuclear electricity production, and discussions focus on energy system costs and the integration of nuclear-renewable energy systems for long-term decarbonization (Göke,...
Overview
Integrated assessment models (IAMs) increasingly rely on large-scale carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and carbon capture, transport and storage (CCTS) to achieve net-zero and net-negative emission pathways. However, empirical evidence from operational projects reveals a persistent gap between modelled deployment assumptions and realised capacities. Despite rapidly increasing...
