Nuclear energy can help to meet net-zero targets • Nuclear energy is likely to play an important role in the global road to net-zero. For example, the International Energy Agency estimates that nuclear power capacity will need to double between 2020 and 2050 to achieve global net-zero GHG emissions by 2050. • Nuclear electricity in Canada displaces about 50 million tonnes of GHG emissions annually, equivalent to removing 10.7 million passenger vehicles off the road. • Electricity from exported Canadian uranium helps to offset more than 300 million tonnes of GHG emissions worldwide. • In 2022, Westinghouse committed to achieving net-zero GHG emissions by 2050, in alignment with the Paris Agreement. • Westinghouse is committed to enhancing its environmental stewardship through a multifaceted approach. This includes the implementation of comprehensive energy reduction strategies, the improvement of waste management practices, the advancement of water conservation policies, and the establishment of measures to protect ecosystems. • Westinghouse has reduced its Scope 1 emissions by 20% and Scope 2 emissions by 31% from its baseline year of 2019.
