On 16 July experts discussed electric transport development trends in Belarus as well as the new opportunities the commissioning of the Belarusian nuclear power plant opens up for Belarus from the point of view of transport decarbonization.
The number of personal electric vehicles rises fast in Belarus as well as the number of electric buses.
Trucks and loading vehicles are becoming electric, most of the vehicles are of Belarusian make at that.
Transport decarbonization is a significant step for Belarus to honor its commitments regarding the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions within the framework of the Paris Agreement.
Vladimir Gorn said: -
Nuclear energy plays the key role in resolving economy decarbonization problems
-
Nowadays NPPs represent one of the most reliable sources of clean energy
-
Belarus has chosen safe nuclear energy as the national energy strategy
-
It is a decision of strategic importance that will allow providing the country's economy with a reliable source of energy for many years in addition to helping the country reach the sustainable development goals
The development of energy accumulation systems that will allow charging electric vehicles reliably and fast is an important factor for faster growth of the sector.
RENERA, part of Rosatom's TVEL Fuel Company, specializes in that.
RENERA Director General Dmitry Serebryakov said:
-
A new age of green transport transition has begun
-
World corporations intend to make more electric vehicles and fewer automobiles with internal combustion engines
-
For us as a producer of accumulation systems based on lithium-ion batteries it is a signal that heralds the start of revolutionary processes
They boast high energy density and can discharge up to 90% of their capacity without power reduction
