A Chinese state-owned energy infrastructure group has proposed a decarbonisation plan that would increase the country’s use of nuclear power by deploying new reactors at coal sites.

China Energy Engineering Group (CEEC) is studying ways to convert retiring coal-fired facilities into nuclear power plants, according to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post.

CEEC has said its “Coal to Nuclear,” or C2N, strategy would enable new reactors to take advantage of the existing land, grid, and water access of coal-fired plants, which would enable faster construction of new nuclear power reactors.
