International design company Bryden Wood<\/a> is working alongside TerraPraxis<\/a> to create a new digital platform to decarbonise electricity by 2050<\/h2>\n

The \u2018Repowering Coal\u2019 initiative will deliver a substantial portion of the clean electricity required to achieve net zero<\/a> by 2050, by replacing coal-fired boilers at existing power plants with Generation IV Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs) which will be ready for deployment by 2027.<\/p>\n

Bryden Wood has created a new design and construction solution that will make this possible.<\/p>\n

\u2018Speed and agility have never been so important\u2019<\/h3>\n

Martin Wood, the co-founder, Bryden Wood, said: \u201cWe\u2019re building the market for AMRs at the same time as the product itself is being developed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe digital tools<\/a> we\u2019re creating will enable us to have a huge number of projects, across multiple sites, ready to go as soon as the reactors are approved. Speed and agility have never been so important.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2018Repower the world’s coal fleets\u2019<\/h3>\n

Eric Ingersoll, co-founder, TerraPraxis said: \u201cThis ambitious project will design a process to repower the world’s coal fleets via a fast, repeatable system resulting in carbon negative power plants that are cheaper to operate than before and ensure continuity for communities reliant on these plants for energy and jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new system will standardise and optimise the following key elements:<\/p>\n
