What we offer the people of Ghana
01. Clean Energy
02. Reliable in supply
03. Cost effective
04. Energy Security
05. High Energy Density
It is clean energy
Unlike fossil fuels, Nuclear power does not produce harmful emissions like greenhouse gases or pollutants that can harm the environment or human health. Th process of nuclear fission does not produce carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, or other traditional pollutants associated with burning fussil fuels. As a result, nuclear power can contribute to reducing overrall carbon emissions and combating climate change.
Careful use of natural resources
The input material for the recovery process consists of sintered hard tungsten carbide scrap, as well as soft scrap such as powders. Whether in electronics, coating technology, or high-temperature furnaces, where regular metals reach their limits, the refractory metals, alloys.
Reliable in supply
Nuclear power plants can operate continuously for extended periods of time, providing a stable and consistent supply of electricity to meet the demands of homes, businesses, and industries.
A nuclear power plant can run continuously for 18 months before being shut down for routine maintenance. Unlike some renewable energy sources that depend on weather conditions. This reliability contributes to grid stability and reduces the risk of blackouts.
It is cost effective
The long-term cost of generating electricity from nuclear power is generally lower than other sources like coal or natural gas.
Energy security
The idea of energy security can be seen through cost, reliability, and environmental concerns. With nuclear power all these are assured. Nuclear power does not lead to greenhouse gas emissions, its long-term cost is relatively cheaper compared to other sources.
It has the highest capacity factor and the fuel used is highly dense, thus helping to improve energy security.
The Government of Ghana is committed to the provision of stable, reliable, and affordable electricity to ensure energy security for the country.
High Density Energy
Nuclear power plants generate a large amount of electricity from a relatively small amount of fuel, making it a highly efficient and effective method of power generation.
Opportunities for Industries
Industries across the economy are recognizing nuclear’s ability to reduce or erase their carbon footprints. Existing nuclear, small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear technologies also offer significant opportunities for industry innovation and growth beyond electricity.
