US-based chemicals company Dow and nuclear energy provider X-energy will collaborate to deploy X-energy’s Xe-100 high-temperature gas reactor technology at one of Dow’s US Gulf Coast sites.
Dow, based in Midland, Michigan, said the reactor is expected to be operational by 2030. It said the Xe-100 would provide cost-competitive, carbon free process heat and power to the Dow facility.
Dow also said it intends to take a minority equity stake in X-energy, working with the company to deploy SMR nuclear technology.
