Sizewell C is not just about making electricity; it’s also about helping animals and plants. The project includes creating new nature reserves where wildlife can thrive. One such place is Wild Aldhurst, a beautiful area with wetlands and meadows. Here, creatures like marsh harriers (a type of bird), otters, reptiles and rare butterflies have found safe homes. By turning unused land into vibrant habitats, Sizewell C is making sure that nature flourishes alongside the power station.

Climate change is a big challenge, but Sizewell C is helping to tackle it by producing low-carbon energy. This means making electricity without releasing lots of carbon dioxide, a gas that contributes to global warming. By providing clean energy, Sizewell C helps reduce pollution and protect our planet for future generations.
Did you know that Sizewell C is exploring ways to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere? This process is called Direct Air Capture. By using special technology, Sizewell C can help clean the air we breathe, making the environment healthier for everyone.
