Danish nuclear reactor developer Seaborg and sister company Hyme have been awarded a public grant from the Danish Energy Technology and Demonstration Program (EUDP) to demonstrate the world’s first energy storage facility based on inexpensive hydroxide salts.
The budget for the project, an initiative that includes a consortium of industry and academic partners, is €3.3m and the demonstration plant is to be built in the Danish city of Esbjerg by 2023.
Mastering molten salt technology is a key element of Seaborg’s Generation IV compact molten salt reactor, which the company aims to deploy on “power barges”, providing clean and affordable electricity worldwide. The first power barges will have two reactors installed delivering 200 MW.
