Innargi Geothermal, Decarbonising Europe's Heat, One City at a Time In an era defined by the urgent need to decarbonise Europe’s energy systems, one critical sector often remains overlooked, heating. Accounting for a substantial portion of the continent’s energy consumption, the heating sector has long been dominated by fossil fuels and biomass. Enter Innargi Geothermal, a Danish company on a mission to change that, one community at a time. Founded in 2017 by A.P. Møller Holding, Innargi has rapidly evolved from a single-project venture in Aarhus into an international geothermal energy company with a growing portfolio across Northern and Eastern Europe. By applying decades of subsurface expertise from the oil and gas industry to the untapped potential of geothermal energy, Innargi is industrialising geothermal district heating at a scale never before seen in the European Union. This article takes a deep dive into Innargi’s operations, exploring its revolutionary business model and ...
"Turkey Gears Up for a Nuclear Future: South Korea Offers to Power the Nation with Four State-of-the-Art Reactors"

South Korea's Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) has submitted a proposal to the Turkish government for the construction of four APR-1400 reactors in northern Turkey. KEPCO CEO Seung-il Jeong and Turkey's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Fatih Dönmez, met on January 30 to discuss the project, which KEPCO said will involve a project feasibility study to determine the optimal business promotion plan.
KEPCO has a proven track record in delivering successful nuclear power plant projects, having completed construction of four APR1400 reactors in the UAE under a $20 billion deal in 2009. The company is the only operator among the latest nuclear power plants under construction in the West that has met budget and timeline expectations, earning the trust of its customers.
Turkey has made great strides in its nuclear program, launching the initiative in 2006 and currently constructing four VVER-1200 reactors with Russia at Akkuyu on the Mediterranean coast. Plans for nuclear development have also been proposed for Sinop and Igneada, with discussions for Atmea1 units in Sinop and AP1000s in Igneada underway with Westinghouse, China's SNPTC, and others.
With the submission of KEPCO's proposal, full-fledged discussions for the export of new nuclear power plants to Turkey have begun, signaling an exciting new chapter in the country's nuclear program. KEPCO's expertise, proven track record, and commitment to delivering top-notch nuclear power plants make the company a strong contender to bring Turkey's vision of a thriving nuclear industry to life.
APR-1400 is a pressurized water reactor (PWR) designed and developed by the Korean company Korea Hydro and Nuclear Power (KHNP). It is a third-generation nuclear reactor technology with improved safety features, increased thermal efficiency, and enhanced operational reliability compared to previous PWR designs. The APR-1400 is widely used in South Korea and has been exported to several countries, including the United Arab Emirates.
