Polish chemical giant wants to use the units at its European factories The MMR energy system mockup. Courtesy GFP/USNC Synthos Green Energy of Poland and US-based Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation have signed an agreement to assess the feasibility of using Ultra Safe’s 15-MW micro modular reactor (MMR) energy system to generate hydrogen, heat and power for use in Synthos’s chemical plants and for wider commercial use by various regional industrial manufacturing companies.

Synthos said the agreement is the latest step in its strategy to generate zero carbon emissions at its facilities. The MMR energy system will replace existing plants that use coal or natural gas. In developing the system, Ultra Safe is partnering with multiple, global industrial heavyweights including Hyundai Engineering.

The announcement follows the news last week that Synthos had begun discussions with Poland’s National Atomic Energy Agency (PAA) about a potential GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy BWRX-300 small modular reactor project. Synthos and GEH recently signed a cooperation agreement that is focused on development and deployment of the BWRX-300. In addition to GEH, Exelon Generation, Fortum and CMS Legal in Warsaw are supporting Synthos in this process.
