Hatch Laurentis Energy Partners and Tractebel to develop nuclear technology solutions
07, 2023
Brussels, Belgium – Hatch, Tractebel and leading energy services provider Laurentis Energy Partners will work together, combining talent and decades of expertise, to develop a one-stop shop to support industrial small modular reactor (SMR) clients worldwide.
This alliance builds on Hatch and Tractebel’s previously announced cooperation agreement to include Laurentis Energy Partners (Laurentis), which has been leading the development of SMR projects across North America and Europe, by forging partnerships with industry and other organizations.
Together, the three companies will leverage their combined skills, expertise, and experience to support clients looking to develop SMR projects. The partnership approach will ultimately help streamline processes, significantly reducing risks, and ensuring lessons learned are transferred from one project to the next.
Key Facts
- SMRs can range from 1 megawatt (MW) to approximately 300 MW. High-temperature SMRs could be deployed for industrial use, to reduce emissions and provide much-needed high-temperature heat and steam to heavy industries.
- Industries including chemical, oil and gas, steel-making and other mining and metals industries could use SMRs, which offer greater scalability and siting flexibility for locations unable to accommodate more traditional larger reactors.
