The deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) will be an “important step” towards carbon neutrality by 2050 for Poland’s state-controlled fuels and energy company PKN Orlen, according to its chief executive officer Daniel Obajtek.
Mr Obajtek told the Rzeczpospolita daily that SMRs will not only provide power and heat, but will also bring a significant reduction in the company’s carbon footprint. Additionally, Mr Obajtek said these new technologies would also create new jobs in an “innovative and attractive” sector.
