Allseas’ small modular reactor (SMR) technology could generate up to $150 billion in economic value for the Netherlands and create 40,000 jobs by 2050, according to a recent impact study by Roland Berger. The 25 MWe / 70 MWt high-temperature gas-cooled SMR is expected to alleviate grid congestion, enhance energy security, and significantly reduce emissions in both Dutch industry and the global maritime sector.
The company has initiated a five-year plan to develop and deploy the SMR on offshore vessels and industrial sites, aiming for operational units by 2030. The compact design makes it suitable for various applications, including commercial vessels, industrial clusters, and defense infrastructure. Roland Berger estimates the potential for installing up to 110 SMRs on land and 700 in the maritime sector, with the technology projected to cut CO₂ emissions by 65 megatonnes annually by 2050.
Allseas emphasizes that its SMR can provide clean electricity competitively with fossil fuels and renewable sources while offering industrial heat at lower costs. The findings validate the strategic value of this technology in addressing energy demands and supporting the Netherlands’ long-term nuclear development strategy.
