It technology has the potential to revolutionize antibiotic screening and diagnosis, reducing the time required for drug sensitivity readings.

Surging Demand for Heavy Water Amidst Nuclear Power Expansion

Nuclear power plants' growing numbers are expected to drive the market for Heavy Water. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), report predicted a substantial increase in global nuclear generating capacity by 2050. The agency predicted that nuclear-generating capacity will be increased by more than double to 873 gigawatts net electrical by 2050, which is a major growth as compared to the current capacity of around 390Gw. The substantial growth in nuclear capacity indicates a higher demand for heavy water.

Furthermore, heavy water is one of the essential materials used in the operation of nuclear reactors that contribute to decarbonization efforts. Nuclear power plants play a major role in reducing CO2 emissions. According to the IAEA, nuclear energy has reduced about 70 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions over the past 50 years.
