Andriy Kobolev, ex-chairman of Naftogaz of Ukraine, together with his partners, founded the ENEY company to implement investment projects in the field of decarbonized energy.
One of the priority directions is the production of new types of nuclear reactors and energy storage facilities, Kobolev wrote on Facebook.
" The war in Ukraine strongly influenced our vision of what exactly and why we can do in Ukraine before its end. Currently, one of the working hypotheses is the reorientation of existing enterprises of the nuclear energy sector to the production of components for the "New Atom," he wrote.
Kobolev noted that the successful implementation of this idea will not only support the Ukrainian economy until the end of the war, but also accelerate Russia's defeat on the global energy front. After all, the renaissance of nuclear energy and related technologies can have a critical impact on the consumption of Russian oil and gas.
He also said that he recently got acquainted with one production in the sector of automated control systems in the south of Ukraine.
"I am returning to Kyiv with sincere optimism about the viability of our hypothesis," he shared Kobolev.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that the modern nuclear power can become an alternative to coal and natural gas and help the world achieve its decarbonization goals.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, Special Envoy of the US President on Climate Matters John Kerry and Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Galushchenko announced the pilot project "Clean Fuel in Ukraine with SMR".
