To achieve net-zero CO2 emissions from energy use, electricity must rely on nuclear power and renewable energy sources (mainly, variable renewable energies and hydropower), while non-electric energy needs must be met by clean fuels derived from carbon resources such as biomass..
This study evaluates the global supply potential of hydrocarbon fuels produced through the synergistic process using biomass and nuclear heat in the late 21st century. Additionally, it examines the integration of a carbonization process into this system to produce biochar, thereby removing CO2 from the atmosphere.
Based on these findings, in the energy transition toward the late 21st century, nuclear energy is expected to play a significant role not only in electricity generation but also in fuel production and achieving negative emissions through the synergistic process.
