Business in Vancouver: Companies that caught our eye at CEM
Last week’s Clean Energy Ministerial provided Canadian clean-tech companies a chance to show their stuff.
Based in Oakville, Ontario, Terrestrial Energy was named one of the top 10 breakthrough technologies in MIT Technology Review, curated by Bill Gates.

Business in Vancouver: Advanced nuclear could take climate fight to the next level
As ministers from more than 25 countries gather in Vancouver this month for the Clean Energy Ministerial, they will be thinking about how the world can transition to clean energy economies.
But decarbonizing the world electricity supply is just the beginning. At best, it would eliminate only 30% of global emissions.
BNN Bloomberg: Terrestrial Energy touts the advantages of molten salt reactor technology
Terrestrial Energy CEO Simon Irish explains to BNN Bloomberg the benefits of a new type of clean energy technology, the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR®).
“You can do so much better technically and commercially if you embrace nuclear innovation and embrace a different reactor technology,” he said.

The Globe and Mail: International Energy Agency urges developed countries to support nuclear industries
The target of limiting increases in average global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius “will be very difficult to realize, and in the absence of nuclear, it will be much, much, much more difficult, if not impossible,” the International Energy Agency’s executive director Fatih Birol, said.

GTM: Why advanced nuclear reactors may be here sooner than many imagine
Advanced nuclear reactors are moving toward commercialisation faster and with less government support than many realize. Their smaller size and advances in computing are helping.

World Nuclear News: Terrestrial Energy joins Generation IV Forum
David LeBlanc, Terrestrial Energy’s president and chief technology officer, said technical collaboration through interactions with the GIF were “invaluable” to realise the global potential for the company’s MSR technology. “The GIF recognises that with nuclear innovation, we can meet the urgent global market need for clean, affordable and cost-competitive energy,” he said.
