The US Export-Import Bank (Exim) has formally expressed its interest in providing $3bn (€3bn) in financial support for new nuclear reactors at the Cernavodă site in southeast Romania, in an announcement made at the United Nations Cop27 climate conference in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
“This announcement further underscores Exim’s commitment to support the Biden-Harris administration’s efforts to combat climate change and advances the relationship between Exim and the Romanian government,” Exim said in a statement.
US special climate envoy John Kerry told a news conference at Cop27 announcing the Exim’s formal interest that “we have a viable alternative in nuclear... this is one of the ways in which we can achieve net-zero”.
