About the Workshop

The imperative to achieve Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050 intensifies in energy-intensive South East Asia, including Indonesia. A collaborative approach, emphasizing an increased integration of renewables and nuclear power, is crucial to meet the surging energy demands. Globally, over 20 countries are actively developing advanced reactors, with more than 90 Small Modular Reactor (SMR) concepts progressing. Notably, about 20 designs are set for deployment as demonstration units by 2035, marking significant strides in nuclear innovation. Regional nuclear societies play a vital role in guiding decision-makers through the complexities of these advancements, underscoring the transformative phase in achieving sustainable energy solutions.

This workshop aims to provide technical exchange forum among international experts on the subjects and strengthen energy society in South East Asia that hopefully can draft white papers on the subject “Potential SMR technologies to be implemented for Indonesia NZE 2060 Program” as an output.
