What will be the energy future? Results of the Russian Energy Week - in the report of ONT

The shortage of fuel and energy resources can easily put any economy on the shoulder blades of the world and even provoke a political crisis. On the eve of the congressional elections in the States there was an acute shortage of this type of fuel. To prevent this from becoming a factor of defeat for the Republicans, Trump had to urgently negotiate supplies with Russia. And at the same time demand from Kiev to stop attacks on Russian refineries, which eventually escalated into a conflict between Washington and Kiev. This is a diesel-political story that shows us the price of an energy source.

There are many other, no less striking examples. In particular, about where green technologies have taken Europe, or about what significant advantages Belarus has gained by building its own nuclear power plant. In general, those who are better off in the fuel and energy sector are on horseback today. The Russian Energy Week, one of the most notable world events in this sphere, has just ended in Moscow. Belarus also took part in it. Loud quotes and statements, and what will be the energy of the future – in the report by Svetlana Karulskaya.

Historical moment: the first unit of Rooppur NPP in Bangladesh was brought to the minimum controlled power level (MKU). This is the fifth VVER-1200 reactor launched by Rosatom abroad.

This is the development of scientific developments together with Rosatom in the use of nuclear energy, and in medicine - the development of medicine in the treatment of cancer. And it is important that with each such turn, with each such turn, new directions appear in various spheres that work for the benefit of our people.”.
