Terra Praxis welcomes the leadership being demonstrated by Microsoft in recognizing the critical role of advanced nuclear in the clean energy transition. On “Energy Day” at COP28, Microsoft published a comprehensive new policy brief on the vital role of nuclear energy in meeting our clean energy goals: “Accelerating a Carbon-Free Future: Microsoft Policy Brief on Advanced Nuclear and Fusion Energy.” The strategic collaboration with Terra Praxis and its work on REPOWER is cited as an example of how Microsoft is leveraging digital technology to support an inclusive decarbonized energy system.

Terra Praxis and Seaborg have agreed to assess Seaborg’s CMSR as a potential heat source in the standardized, systematic method of repurposing existing coal-fired power plants with nuclear reactors, developed by Terra Praxis. Many coal power plants are located close to industrial water courses or oceans providing direct site access for Seaborg's floating power barge product.

Terra Praxis and Copenhagen Atomics have agreed to assess Copenhagen Atomics Waste Burner (CAWB) as a potential heat source in the standardized, systematic method of repurposing existing coal-fired power plants with nuclear reactors, developed by Terra Praxis. Parties anticipate that the success of Terra Praxis’ Repowering Coal system will be a dramatic reduction in regulatory licensing scope, project duration, project costs, and commercial risks to enable the rapid decarbonization of coal plants to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

Terra Praxis has selected Terrestrial Energy’s Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR) as the first candidate heat source vendor for its Repowering Coal program due to its unique capabilities. These include its high-temperature heat supply required for coal-fired boiler replacement, and its capacity to be deployed quickly and at the scale necessary to replace 2 Terawatts of global coal capacity by 2050. According to the agreement, Terrestrial Energy and Terra Praxis will work on a standardized systems interface between the IMSR and coal-fired power plant systems, which they will apply to candidate sites as part of the program to repower coal projects in North America and elsewhere.

As of 2022, the world has more than 2 terawatts (TWe) of coal-fired electric power plants. Schneider Electric and Terra Praxis will work together to deliver the latest standardized physical system designs and project applications for coal plant owners and investors to support the rapid decarbonization of the world's coal plants by 2050. This will require hundreds of plants to be repowered with carbon-free energy each year, starting in 2025.

Terra Praxis is making available for the first time on Nov. 7 its new EVALUATE application, which enables coal plant owners and investors around the world to evaluate hundreds of coal plants for fast, low-cost, and repeatable conversion to emissions-free power generation sources. The non-profit seeks to accelerate solutions for hard-to-decarbonize sectors, which includes the global fleet of 2,400 coal plants. The solution comes following a strategic collaboration with Microsoft, who helped develop the application. It is being unveiled for the first time in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt at COP27, an annual gathering with world leaders on climate action.

When you read our enclosed 2021 Annual Review, you will see an organization that–during its first full year of operations–has contributed to a permanent change in both the perceptions of, and potential solutions to, the world’s biggest problem–decoupling energy and carbon emissions. The world can still achieve Net Zero by 2050 if innovative climate solutions are pursued at speed and scale. TerraPraxis is leading the way in shifting the world's focus from advocacy to action on climate change.

“We are encouraged by the EU parliament’s recognition of nuclear as a necessary solution to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050. This will enable investment in the lowest cost decarbonization - which is long term operation of existing nuclear plants - as well as grow investment in new advanced nuclear technologies, which have the potential to dramatically accelerate decarbonization across power, heat, industry and transport, while protecting our planet, and growing human prosperity.” Kirsty Gogan, Terra Praxis Co-Founder.

TerraPraxis, a non-profit organization focused on action for climate and energy and tech-powered design company, Bryden Wood, are unveiling digital tools that underpin the ‘Repowering Coal’ initiative this week at CERAWeek (in Houston, Texas), the leading global energy conference. The Terra Praxis ‘Repowering Coal’ system is a fast, low-cost, and repeatable strategy to repower hundreds of existing coal plants that would otherwise continue to burn coal, and whose closure is likely to encounter fierce political resistance and cause economic harm to communities. This initiative is designed for radical cost reduction to enable production of reliable, competitive, clean energy, rapidly repowering the 2TW global coal fleet and cutting carbon emissions by 40%. The repowering system transforms the coal plants into flexible clean generators, making them better partners for renewables on the grid.

“Carbon neutral air travel is vital to keeping the global economy moving and connecting people while progressing toward net zero. Emissions-free heat and power from advanced nuclear energy can enable large-scale production of cost-competitive carbon neutral, or carbon negative, clean synthetic fuels. As global prosperity increases, more people want to travel and our goal should be to enable that while also cutting emissions. On Transport Day at COP26, both airlines and passengers should be calling for rapid deployment of clean fuels.”

Glasgow, 10 November 2021 — “The draft deal at COP26 is strong on theory but falls short in practice on phasing out coal. It is highly unrealistic that the world will simply “phase out coal” when coal is booming at record levels, fuelling the post-pandemic global economic recovery. The prospect of closing even crumbling old coal plants is met with such fierce political resistance that it has stalled climate policies in countries like the U.S.
