The 4th industrial revolution: smart local energy systems
The role of nuclear and democracy as a change maker
About
Join us for an insightful presentation on how Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) can revolutionise the data centre industry by providing zero-emission, reliable, and sustainable energy solutions. In this talk, experts from RED Engineering Design will delve into the findings of their latest white paper, exploring the potential of SMRs to address the energy demands of the rapidly growing data centre sector. Discover how integrating advanced nuclear technologies can ensure power security, support the exponential growth of digitalisation, and drive the transition to a net-zero carbon future.
This presentation will touch on two themes: first smart local energy systems and the role of advanced nuclear technologies, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) in providing a clean and reliable power source for the growth of the digital sector. Second the legacy and effectiveness of the citizen and his democratic representatives in creating 21 century’s decarbonised energy infrastructures.
