Problem
Many industrial processes rely on fossil fuels for heat, steam, and electricity, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. Electrification is not always a viable solution for these industries, leaving a need for alternative low-carbon energy sources.
Solution
Blue Capsule Technology develops small modular reactors (SMRs) that provide a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels for industries requiring heat, steam, and electricity. Each compact, subterranean module delivers up to 150 MWth of industrial-grade heat at 700°C, and can also produce high-temperature vapor (650°C) and 60 MWe of electricity. The SMR design combines high-temperature reactor (HTR) and sodium-cooled reactor technologies, utilizing TRISO fuel within a naturally circulating sodium pool operating at atmospheric pressure to prevent core melt. This technology enables industries to decarbonize their operations while maintaining efficiency and operational continuity.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes industries such as ammonia, soda ash, alumina, biofuel, cement, steel, and hydrogen producers that require heat, steam, or electricity for their processes.
