The European Commission has approved an Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) to support research and innovation and the first industrial deployment in the hydrogen technology value chain. We are the only company from Poland with a project that has been approved within the second wave of “IPCEI Hy2Tech”.
Synthos Green Energy was responsible for the entire application preparation process, both at the national and the EU level.
The proposal - Development and demonstration of hydrogen generation technology based on hightemperature steam decomposition using zero emission energy resources - has been worked on together with partners from Poland and other countries. The project concerns developing two alternative technologies aimed at the construction of a demonstration plant capable of generating hydrogen on an industrial scale based on the processes of the high-temperature Cu-Cl thermochemical water splitting cycle (TWSC) or a solid oxide electrolyser (SOE). The target technology for the FID phase will be selected based on the results of the R&D phase.
Companies, including Synthos Green Energy, are part of a team led by GE-Hitachi which has been awarded a £33.6 million UK Future Nuclear Enabling Fund (FNEF) grant to support development of the BWRX-300 technology.
At the the press conference at PKN ORLEN’s headquarters, the first potential sites for the BWRX-300 reactors were presented. These are Ostrołęka, Włocławek, Stawy Monowskie, Dąbrowa Górnicza, Kraków-Nowa Huta, the Tarnobrzeg – Stalowa Wola Special Economic Zone and Warsaw.
Synthos Green Energy has signed an agreement for the design of a BWRX-300 SMR from GE Hitachi. The company, together with its partners from the U.S. and Canada, will invest in the development of the GEH BWRX-300 technology.
