Notes to editors

*Decarbonization as used in this article is intended to mean the reduction of carbon emissions on a kilogram per megawatt hour basis.


Ammonia is utilized today in industrial applications such as the production of fertilizer.  When used as a carrier for hydrogen, ammonia enables a more efficient and lower-cost pathway for transport and storage. In addition, ammonia is expected to be utilized directly in power generation as a carbon-free fuel, since ammonia contains no carbon, it does not emit carbon dioxide when burned and may therefore enhance the power sector’s efforts in reducing carbon emissions. (Note:  any air-based combustion, even if operating on a carbon free fuel, will emit a trace amount of carbon dioxide based on the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.)

GE Vernova and Hitachi to explore deployment of BWRX-300 small modular reactor in Southeast Asia

5 min read

TOKYO (March 14, 2026) – GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE: 6501, “Hitachi”) have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities to deploy the BWRX-300 small modular reactor in Southeast Asia. The agreement was signed during the Indo-Pacific Energy Security Ministerial & Business Forum in Tokyo in the presence of U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) Minister Ryosei Akazawa.

The two companies agree to collaborate through the GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Hitachi GE Vernova Nuclear Energy joint ventures to identify commercial opportunities for the BWRX-300 in Southeast Asia. The collaboration will also explore opportunities to incorporate qualified Japanese suppliers and strengthen the SMR supply chain supporting future BWRX-300 deployment in the region.

“As more nations look to nuclear power to meet their energy security needs, GE Vernova and Hitachi look forward to continuing our long history of collaboration in support of the global nuclear industry,” said Roger Martella, Chief Corporate Officer, GE Vernova. “Our SMR technology can be a powerful tool for countries across Southeast Asia for generations to come.”

“Hitachi has continued to bring long-standing experience in nuclear technology, through our partnership with GE Vernova, and we are excited to do even more by exploring the deployment of the BWRX-300 in Southeast Asia,” said Yasunori Inada, Vice President and Executive Officer, CEO of Nuclear Energy Business Unit, Hitachi. “We aim to contribute to a sustainable energy future in the region by leveraging the capabilities of Hitachi and GE Vernova.”

Momentum around the BWRX-300 continues to build globally. The first BWRX-300 is under construction at Ontario Power Generation’s Darlington site in Canada, with completion expected by the end of the decade, which will make it the first small modular reactor in the Western world. Key components like the reactor pressure vessel are being manufactured, and site construction is progressing according to plan. A total of four SMRs are planned for the site. The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has accepted and is reviewing Tennessee Valley Authority’s (TVA) application to construct the first BWRX-300 in the U.S. at the utility’s Clinch River site in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. These developments, and others, underscore the momentum of the BWRX-300 as GE Vernova and Hitachi build on more than half a century of experience in the nuclear industry, combining their proven technologies and deep expertise to scale and deploy SMRs commercially to customers around the globe.
