Urenco Global

With the new government beginning to set out the detail behind its plans for energy and the role of Great British Energy, it’s fantastic to see that nuclear power’s role in making Britain a #cleanenergy superpower has been confirmed. Ed Miliband has reaffirmed this government’s commitment to making Britain a world leader in the development of the next generation of nuclear reactors and will stick to the original timeline of September to unveil new reactor designs. In a positive sign of support for #nuclearenergy, the Secretary of State called nuclear power “very important for the future.” Clearly, #netzeroneedsnuclear, and we look forward to seeing how the industry and Department for Energy Security and Net Zero can work together to develop new nuclear energy and #decarbonise.

This month we’re focusing on our partnership with Pump Aid as part of our #socialimpact spotlight series https://bit.ly/3KTwMAF. Urenco is delighted to support the charity’s work training local people in Malawi as water entrepreneurs to maintain, fit and supply water pumps, creating jobs and ensuring there is a sustainable way to access clean water. Pump Aid has been developing sustainable water solutions in rural sub-Saharan Africa for over 25 years, helping provide nearly 1.5 million people with access to safe and clean water in the process. Recently, colleagues from Urenco’s European sites volunteered their engineering talent and experience to help Pump Aid resolve some of its practical challenges in ensuring the pumps are efficient and #sustainable. We’re all looking forward to seeing how these improvements can be further trialed and implemented on the ground.

We were delighted to support Fulmer Infant School (that’s just up the road from our head office) with funding towards its summer fete. Our donations panel meets monthly to consider colleagues’ suggestions about ways in which Urenco can make a social impact in its local community.

Another step forward for our #netzero journey 😀 🌳: The Solar Park at our German site is now fully installed! More than 14,000 solar panels have been mounted in Gronau, and once commissioned will ensure the flexible use of renewables at the site and support grid stability. It will also supply 20 charging points for employees' electric vehicles. The park could supply the equivalent of around 1,400 four-person households with electricity. #sustainability #energy

In a testament to the power of #nuclearenergy, last week it was revealed that the UK’s Heysham 2 power station has saved over 100m tonnes of CO2 since opening in 1988! This is estimated to have had the same effect as taking every car off of UK roads for almost 2 years! This impressive milestone once again shows that #nuclearenergy is key to achieving #netzero.

On the UN’s #WorldYouthSkillsDay we mark the importance of equipping the next generation with the skills necessary to tackle the challenges of the future. This year’s theme - skills for peace and development - chimes perfectly with Urenco’s commitment to the peaceful application of #nuclear power, which we want to pass on to the next generation. Have a look at UNESCO’s graphic for some key figures. Learn more about today’s initiative below: https://lnkd.in/ddRHCa2T

"The United Kingdom needs an [unprecedented] programme of nuclear construction to reach net-zero", according to the Nuclear Industry Association. They state that the new government should work to reinvigorate investment and progress Sizewell C, Hinkley Point C, as well as the planned reactor in Wylfa and a fleet of SMRs. The Nuclear Industry Association estimates that if the UK is successful in delivering this programme and achieves 24 GW of #nuclearenergy by 2050, we will see a 75m tonne decrease in annual emissions and create 200,000 jobs.
