Tiny nuclear meets big oil: Can micro reactors reduce oil and gas operations emissions?
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.
