Description

Oil and gas production, transport and processing account for almost 15% of total energy-related greenhouse gas emissions globally, and the use of the oil and gas results in another 40% of emissions, according to the International Energy Agency. Powering upstream oil and gas facilities with low-emissions electricity is one way to cut emissions from the sector, the IEA said.

James Walker, CEO of Nano Nuclear Energy, and Jay Yu, founder and executive chairman of Nano Nuclear Energy, joined the podcast to discuss the possible use of micro reactors to reduce emissions in the oil and gas sector.

Stick around after the interview for Jeff Mower with the Market Minute, a near-term look at oil market drivers.
