This week at the World Nuclear Association—WNA's Symposium, Kirsty Gogan and Magnus Mori, Head of Advanced Fuels at Urenco, delivered a joint keynote, sharing initial findings from their new study on how SMRs can support industries like data centers, synthetic fuels, and coal repowering. The research outlines scenarios to reach 700 GW by 2050, highlighting innovations in manufacturing, regulation, and financing.

Kirsty Gogan was honored to give the keynote address at the International Energy Agency's Stakeholder Engagement Conference. She said that to meet the scale of demand, we need to fundamentally transform how we develop and deploy nuclear projects. We need to repower 2TWe of coal capacity, deliver refinery-scale hydrogen production, creates entirely new categories of emissions-free energy services that preserve jobs while powering industrial civilization.
