We are proud to announce that our company will participate in the international GEMINI 4.0 project carried in which 20 institutions from Europe and Asia are involved. The project, financed by the European funds, follows the GEMINI+ initiative (SGE did not participate in the previous phase) which demonstrated that HTR systems can provide a competitive and safe solution for the CO2 free cogeneration of the process heat and electricity needed by industry.
Now the participants continue their research to demonstrate that the GEMINI+ system can, in addition to CO2 free process heat, provide a global solution for the competitive and safe decarbonisation of industrial activities, and confirm that this new form of poly-generation of various energy products does not negatively affect the safety of the combined plant.
The GEMINI 4.0 project was positively assessed and received funding under the Euratom Research and Training Program (HORIZON-EURATOM-2021) and is coordinated by the French company Framatome.

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.
