Equilibrion and Rolls-Royce SMR collaborating to advance the development of SAF production via nuclear energy

This article was originally posted on Chemical Engineering Online.

Summary

Equilibrion and Rolls-Royce SMR signed a Memorandum of Understanding to assess the technical and economic feasibility of producing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) using heat and power from Rolls-Royce’s factory-built small modular reactors. The collaboration will evaluate how SMR-supplied, clean and cost-competitive energy could support low-carbon, scalable SAF production.

Question: What do you see as the biggest hurdles—and advantages—of using SMR nuclear energy to power SAF production at scale?

Equilibrion and Rolls-Royce SMR have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on a technical and economic assessment, to better understand the opportunity for nuclear powered Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) using Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). The Rolls-Royce SMR is designed to provide clean, reliable cost-competitive energy through its ‘factory-built’ SMR technology. The heat and electricity […]
