Nuclear power harnesses
energy inherent in atomic
nuclei without
combustion,
yielding high-density energy.
With the growing consensus on carbon neutrality and overcoming the
climate crisis, RE100(Renewable Energy 100%) and CF100 (Carbon
Free 100%) has appeared in the international community and garnered
significant participation and interest from various global corporations.
'Carbon-free' in CF100 includes renewables energies such as wind,
solar, hydropower, and nuclear energy.
'Nuclear power' is not only an eco-friendly energy source with low carbon
dioxide emissions, a key contributor to the climate crisis but also a highly
efficient energy source capable of providing a large amount of electricity
with a small amount of fuel.
RE 100
(Renewable Energy 100%)
Companies procure or
self-produce 100% of their electricity
using renewable energy sources.
CF 100
(Carbon Free 100%)
Companies supply 100% of their
electricity using carbon-free energy
sources, including nuclear and
renewable energy.
