EIB Climate Bank Roadmap 2026-30: Strengthening the EU’s climate action toolbox through strategic sustainable finance
Introduction Climate change arguably remains the most urgent challenge of our time. Record-breaking temperatures month after month and increasingly deadly and economically devastating climate disasters demonstrate that decisive and sustained action is still needed to cut planet-warming emissions. While other priorities for public funding and support have emerged, addressing climate…

Advanced nuclear energy supply chains
The Opportunity Advanced nuclear energy is uniquely positioned to meet growing U.S. Advanced nuclear energy is uniquely positioned to meet growing U.S. energy demand, support American energy independence, provide reliable and affordable clean power, and create jobs. Fission reactors rely on several niche materials to operate efficiently and safely. Foreign Entity of Concern (“FEOC”) provisions for 48E, 45Y, and 45X tax credits should…

Energising the EU: How Nuclear Energy Can Help Decarbonise European Industry
Heavy industries account for over half of Europe’s energy consumption, much of which goes toward heat production – a sector that still widely uses fossil fuels and is thus a major risk to the EU’s ability to decarbonise. Emissions from heavy industries are mostly attributed to high-temperature heat and round-the-clock…

SMR Alliance positions Europe for next phase of nuclear energy deployment
The European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) sent a clear signal this week: nuclear energy will be central to Europe’s clean energy transition and to the competitiveness of its industries. In his closing remarks at the group’s second General Assembly, EU Commissioner Dan Jørgensen declared that SMRs are essential for climate objectives and that “there is no scenario where we can stay…

Decarbonizing the Asia-Pacific: Why the Asian Development Bank should start funding nuclear energy
The Asia-Pacific is home to some of the world’s fastest growing economies. Energy demand is expected to rise at least a quarter by 2050, yet the region remains highly reliant on fossil fuels for its economy. Decarbonizing the region is a major challenge, but not insurmountable – especially with financial…

Strengthening Poland’s Nuclear Strategy through Financing, Small Modular Reactors, and International Collaboration
Introduction Poland’s energy transition faces distinct challenges rooted in its overreliance on coal, aging infrastructure, and fiscal constraints. The country’s longstanding dependence on coal in Poland’s energy sector presents unique challenges as the country strives for a low-carbon future. As the tenth most manufacturing-reliant economy in Europe with a carbon-intensive…

Nuclear Energy Orderbooks 101: Enabling Cost-Effective Nuclear Deployment in Europe
EU Member States expect to deploy at least 60 GW of new nuclear capacity by 2050 to meet its climate and energy security goals. But without greater coordination, the bloc risks a fragmented rollout of new nuclear energy: duplicated efforts, spiralling costs, underinvested supply chains, and project delays. A nuclear…
