Building a Sustainable Future with Nuclear Energy
Nuclear Energy for a Cleaner World
Nuclear energy is one of the cleanest and most reliable sources of electricity. Sizewell C will generate enough low-carbon electricity to power 6 million homes, helping to reduce the UK’s carbon footprint and meet its Net Zero target by 2050.
🌟 Did You Know?
Sizewell C will prevent 9 million tonnes of carbon emissions each year by replacing fossil fuels with clean energy.
Our Long-Term Environmental Goals
A Lasting Environmental Legacy
At Sizewell C, we’re not just focusing on minimising our environmental impact during construction, we’re creating long-term solutions to protect nature and fight climate change. We are fully committed to leaving a positive legacy for future generations.
Net Gain for Nature
Sizewell C is committed to ensuring a net gain in land for wildlife, meaning the project will leave behind more natural habitats than before the project started.
Green Technology
As part of the project's sustainability plans, Sizewell C will explore other green technologies like hydrogen production and Direct Air Capture (DAC), which removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Water Conservation
Sizewell C has developed sustainable plans to meet water needs and improve water supplies for East Suffolk, ensuring local water sources are protected.
