Ukraine and the U.S. have announced a partnership to develop small modular reactors (SMRs) to aid in the decarbonization of Ukraine's steel industry and replace coal-fired power plants. The initiative, revealed at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, involves creating a roadmap to modernize Ukraine's steel industry and transition coal plants to SMR nuclear power plants. This move is critical in rebuilding Ukraine's infrastructure, which suffered significant damage during Russia's invasion. The partnership also includes a pilot project to produce clean hydrogen and ammonia using simulated SMR technology. Ukraine, facing an energy crisis this winter due to substantial power generation capacity loss during the conflict, is actively working with foreign partners to implement cleaner and more sustainable energy projects. Despite ramping up wind and solar energy projects for short-term solutions, there is a recognition that a comprehensive green energy strategy is needed. Notably, the Tyligulska Wind Power Plant project, which persevered through challenges post-invasion, received recognition at the POWER in 2023 event for its resilience. With ongoing geopolitical tensions threatening energy security, Ukraine remains vigilant in safeguarding its remaining energy infrastructure to prevent further disruptions to power supply and industrial output.
