Nuclear Energy Demand Increases

NEW YORK, March 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

According to a research report released by Grand View Research, global nuclear energy demand exceeded 2,400 TWh in 2014 and it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 4% from 2015 to 2022. Rapid population growth, along with improved lifestyle has resulted in a strong energy demand from households, in both advanced nations and emerging markets. Rising demand for a variety of products have driven industrial developments in various countries, which result in increasing energy requirements from the manufacturing sector. As of 2014, nuclear power provides over 11% of the world's electricity, and over 21% of the electricity in Organisation for European Economic Co-operation (OECD) countries. Azincourt Uranium, Inc. (OTC: AZURF) (TSX-V: AAZ), Fission Uranium Corp. (OTC: FCUUF) (TSX-V: FCU), Uranium Energy Corporation (NYSE: UEC), Denison Mines Corporation (NYSE: DNN), Uranium Resources Inc. (NASDAQ: URRE)

The research report indicates that rising clean power demands, as well as depleting fossil fuel reserves are expected to raise energy concerns. These concerns are encouraging energy companies and governments to invest in the nuclear energy market. The European market is expected to witness above average growth on account of stringent regulations regarding reduction in emissions by 34% over the forecast period. This is expected to require a shift in energy mix and high investments in the industry. The World Nuclear Association points out however, that the USA is the world's largest producer of nuclear power, accounting for more than 30% of worldwide nuclear generation of electricity.
