About Calogena

Calogena is pioneering a carbon-free heating solution through the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), specifically designed as small water nuclear boilers. These reactors are based on well-established and proven technologies, offering a compact, safe, and simple design. Operating at low pressure and temperature, Calogena's SMRs provide direct use of the heat produced, minimizing the need for auxiliary systems and enhancing safety and simplicity compared to traditional reactors. The company's solution addresses the high CO2 emissions associated with conventional heat production methods, such as gas-fired boilers and coal-fired power stations, which are significant contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions. By leveraging nuclear energy, Calogena's modules achieve a carbon footprint of approximately 6g of CO2 per kWh of electricity, significantly lower than traditional methods. Each module is capable of generating 30 MW of thermal power, sufficient to power 12,000 households, making it a viable option for reducing the environmental impact of heating, an energy-intensive sector responsible for 50% of energy consumption in Europe. Calogena's business model focuses on providing a sustainable and efficient alternative to fossil fuel-based heating, targeting markets with high energy demands and environmental concerns. The company generates revenue by offering these advanced nuclear heating solutions to clients seeking to reduce their carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency.
