Imperial College London to investigate solar power for UK trains
Imperial College London is working with 10:10 on track-side solar panels that could power trains. Network Rail is investing billions in electrifying UK train lines, but in many rural areas the grid has reached its limit for distributed energy generation and supplying power to train companies. The Renewable Traction Power project will involve the connection of solar panels directly to train lines, bypassing the grid so the panels can provide power exactly when needed. The idea could free up thousands of sites for smaller renewables projects by removing the need to connect to the grid.

Webinar: The Growth Potential of Nuclear Small Modular Reactors

Thursday 25 May 2023 - How can SMRs open new use-cases for nuclear energy, decarbonizing problem industries in the process? Where in the world are SMRs developing today and where would they be expected to see greatest success? Are evolutionary vs. revolutionary approaches to reactor design more likely to see success in the global SMR fleet? What are the major roadblocks to deployment of SMRs and how could these be overcome? What players are working on SMRs and who is closest to delivering outside of Russia and China?
