Deployment of Carbon Capture Technology Likely to Explode in Coming Years
I haven’t always believed carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology would play a big role in the energy transition. While I knew the technology was sound and has been used at commercial-scale for more than 20 years, I thought the capital costs, operations and maintenance expense, and heat rate and capacity-derating penalties would preclude extensive use of CCUS technology. However, my view has changed.

Nuclear Giant Westinghouse Acquired by Renewable Power Company and Uranium Fuel Supplier
A consortium comprised of Brookfield Renewable Partners, together with its institutional partners, and Cameco Corp. announced on Oct. 11 an agreement to acquire Westinghouse Electric Co. from Brookfield Business Partners (BBU). The deal has (BBU) for a total enterprise value of about $8 billion, approximately $8 billion including proceeds from the disposition of a non-core asset expected to be received prior to closing the transaction. The deal is expected to be finalized close in the second half of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions and approvals.

Ukraine’s Largest Nuclear Power Plant Taken by Russian Forces
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on March 4 that Russian forces had taken control of the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) site, but that the reactors continued to be operated by the plant’s regular staff and there had been no release of radioactive material.

Infrastructure Act Power Technology Demonstrations DOE’s Newly Dedicated Office Will Manage
As required by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) on Dec. 21 launched a new office—the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations—to “supercharge” its work to demonstrate hydrogen, carbon capture, energy storage, and advanced nuclear technologies.

A New Frontier: Quantum Computing in the Power Sector
Digitalization, driven by big data, the industrial internet of things (IIOT), and even artificial intelligence (AI), has made its mark on the power industry, allowing for greater transparency into operations and helping to ramp up efficiency, reliability, and profitability. However, as some experts point out, power operations are quickly growing ever more complex, and “classical” systems may reach a level of “saturation” in their ability to solve problems. A promising emerging solution is embedded in quantum computing, a relatively new field that leverages the unique rules of quantum mechanics to process information.
