Canada\u2019s clean energy opportunity in North America is bigger than Canadians realize.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Canadian Nuclear Association has long demonstrated that nuclear energy is a low-carbon solution to combat climate change,\u201d said CNA President and CEO Dr. John Barrett.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week\u2019s announcement by Prime Minister Trudeau, President Obama and President Pena Nieto is recognition that all low-carbon technologies will be needed to achieve the COP21 Paris Agreement\u2019s goal of limiting average global temperatures to a 1.5\u00b0 C rise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanada\u2019s nuclear industry is ready to assist in achieving this important commitment. Renewable energy sources will contribute to these goals as well, when they are fully integrated into the baseload clean electricity generation and high reliability that nuclear energy provides today,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear power has already helped Canada, the United States and Mexico to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions for decades.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear reactors provided 60 percent of Ontario\u2019s electricity last year, and 30 percent of New Brunswick\u2019s power, making a national contribution of about 15 percent of Canada\u2019s electricity supply.<\/p>\n<p>In the United States, nuclear energy provided 62 percent of emissions-free electricity in 2014. With 99 reactors, the United States operates the world\u2019s largest fleet of commercial nuclear reactors, and it is building five more.<\/p>\n<p>Mexico has two nuclear reactors generating almost 4 percent of its electricity, and plans to build three more reactors in the next decade.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the United States and Mexico, like parts of Canada, continue to rely heavily on fossil fuels \u2013 mainly coal and gas \u2013 to generate power, creating a great opportunity for Canadians to contribute to decarbonization.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCanada\u2019s energy export opportunity can reach far beyond piping our oil and gas to more markets,\u201d Dr. Barrett said. \u201cAnd it can be much bigger than the modest and intermittent contribution that renewables are currently able to make. Canadians should know that their own home-grown, clean, affordable and reliable nuclear technology \u2013 along with this country\u2019s untapped hydroelectric potential \u2013 can meet our whole continent\u2019s pressing need for clean energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear energy since 1971 has avoided 56 Gt of emissions \u2013 equal to nearly two years of global GHG emissions.<\/p>\n<p>A recent IEA study said that a doubling of nuclear-generated electricity by 2040 would help the world to limit the rise in the average global temperature to two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear power is absolutely critical to domestic and international efforts to remove regulated pollutants from the atmosphere and address the threat of global climate change, while powering economies with reliable, affordable and always-available electricity assets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">-30-<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p>John Stewart<br \/>\nDirector of Communications (interim)<br \/>\nDirector of Policy &amp; Research<br \/>\n613-237-4262 ext. 103<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:stewartj@cna.ca\">stewartj@cna.ca<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OTTAWA (June 30, 2016) \u2013\u00a0The Canadian nuclear industry is pleased North American leaders have included nuclear in their pledge to have 50 per cent of the continent\u2019s electricity produced by clean sources by 2025.
