GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy and Samsung C&T form strategic alliance to advance deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor

7 min read

WILMINGTON, North Carolina (October 7, 2025) – GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy (GVH) and Samsung C&T, a leading construction and engineering company, have announced a strategic alliance to advance the deployment of the BWRX-300 small modular reactor (SMR) in strategic global markets, outside North America. The two companies will focus their collective efforts on developing the supply chain and project delivery solutions for GVH’s SMR. Further, they will work together in the potential deployment of five BWRX-300s in Sweden.

“With the first unit of our BWRX-300 under construction in Canada, we are well positioned to lead the deployment and scale of the SMR industry,” said Maví Zingoni, CEO Power, GE Vernova. “This collaboration with a leading player like Samsung C&T, which has a solid track-record of helping to deliver nuclear projects safely, on-time and on-budget, will further strengthen the BWRX-300 position among the most advanced, deployment ready, and lowest risk SMR technology available today.”

“This agreement marks a strategic collaboration where Samsung C&T and GVH aim to become global leaders in the nuclear power segment. The collaboration will capitalize on Samsung C&T's extensive experience in nuclear power and infrastructure project execution, combined with GVH's validated technological expertise,” added Se-chul Oh, Samsung C&T CEO.

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.

Additionally, 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; and Orlen Synthos Green Energy (OSGE) has selected Włocławek as the site for Poland’s first SMR. In Sweden, Vattenfall has down-selected the BWRX-300 as it evaluates the construction of new reactors adjacent to its Ringhals plant site on the Värö Peninsula.

Each BWRX-300 can provide approximately 300 MW of electricity, enough to produce the equivalent electricity needed to power 300,000 homes while significantly reducing the complexity and cost associated with traditional nuclear reactors.

Samsung C&T’s Engineering & Construction Group has more than 40 years of engineering and construction experience operating throughout the world. The group spans commercial and residential buildings, civil infrastructure and plant construction. Its landmark projects include Burj Khalifa - the world’s tallest building, the ongoing Riyadh Metro Project in Saudi Arabia, the Qurayyah 4,000MW CCPP Project, and the ongoing Qatar 2,000MW Solar Power Project.  In the nuclear energy sector, the company has successfully delivered 12GW across 10 units, including the 5.6GW Barakah Nuclear Power Plant in the UAE. It has recently undertaken the Nuclear Power Plant refurbishment project and Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), demonstrating its global competitiveness in large-scale reactor and SMR technologies, and solidifying its expertise across all areas of the nuclear industry.

GE Vernova to deploy pioneering Direct Air Capture technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Canada

7 min read

NEW YORK CITY (September 24, 2025) – GE Vernova and Deep Sky, the world’s first technology-agnostic carbon removal project developer, announced an agreement to deploy GE Vernova's Direct Air Capture (DAC) technology at Deep Sky Alpha in Alberta, Canada. GE Vernova's technology will be capable of capturing up to 1,500 tons of carbon per year. With operations scheduled to begin by late 2026, Alpha will deploy GE Vernova’s proprietary solid sorbent technology, developed and rigorously tested at the company’s Advanced Research Centers.

Located in Innisfail, Alberta, Deep Sky Alpha is the world’s first cross-technology carbon removal hub which became operational in August 2025.

“We are excited about this first-of-its-kind collaboration, which marks an important step in advancing GE Vernova’s scalable, energy-efficient DAC solutions,” said Brian Moran, Executive Director of GE Vernova’s DAC program. “While the technology and industry are still emerging, collaborations like this, built on shared ambition and complementary strengths, have the potential to transform the future of carbon removal.”

GE Vernova DAC solutions couple innovative technology with resilient global supply chains that enable rapid deployment, as well as integrated systems engineering that improves energy use, harnesses waste heat, and ensures reliable operations at scale.

To further support the success of the Deep Sky Alpha project and future deployments, GE Vernova recently commissioned a 10-ton per year DAC test facility at their Advance Research Center in Niskayuna, New York. This system will play a pivotal role in demonstrating the capabilities of both the sorbent materials and the overall DAC technology, building confidence in its reliability and performance at the pilot stage and laying the groundwork for successful commercial-scale deployment.

“Deep Sky is the only place in the world offering end-to-end deployment, operations, renewable power and CO2 storage for DAC technologies, all in real world conditions,” said Alex Petre, CEO of Deep Sky. “GE Vernova entering this space underscores the growing momentum and urgency for DAC as a climate solution. We’re proud to welcome their unit to Deep Sky Alpha and to serve as the proving ground that sets the pace for the industry’s growth.”

The collaboration between Deep Sky and GE Vernova represents an important first step in deploying this innovative technology at speed and scale. It sets the foundation for future commercial-scale DAC projects in Canada, and internationally, as both organizations focus on the scale-up and industrialization of these solutions.

Together, GE Vernova and Deep Sky are committed to developing and deploying cutting-edge carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. High-quality CDR is essential for achieving emissions goals. DAC removes carbon dioxide (CO₂) directly from the atmosphere using chemical processes. Unlike capturing emissions at their source (like power plants or industrial facilities), DAC removes CO₂ from ambient air, which makes it useful for addressing residual emissions and emissions from sources that are hard-to-abate, such as aviation, shipping, or heavy industry.
