Flexible solar panels made from perovskite outperform their counterparts in terms of energy conversion efficiency, durability, and other metrics.
By 2040, based on the energy plan currently being developed by the government, nuclear energy is expected to account for about 20% of the energy balance, while thermal power plants will represent 30-40%. Notably, the plan is not expected to specifically outline the share of coal energy.
According to the current energy plan, by 2030, renewable energy should constitute 36-38%, nuclear power plants 20-22%, thermal power plants 41%, and hydrogen and ammonia 1%.
