Samsung C&T is asserting its position in the Small Modular Reactor (SMR) market with a new Technical Advisory (TA) agreement in Estonia.
According to recent data, the demand for SMRs is expected to reach $54 billion by 2030, highlighting the industry’s rapid expansion. Estonia’s commitment to sustainable energy solutions is evident in its intention to reduce carbon emissions by 70% by 2030, as backed by the International Energy Agency’s reports.
Samsung C&T’s partnership in Estonia brings its proven technical expertise into the local energy framework, aiming to tackle these regulatory and safety challenges head-on. In parallel, the company is strategically diversifying its SMR portfolio within the broader European energy mix.
The technical collaboration in Estonia involves advising on site selection, safety protocols, environmental assessments, and long-term operational strategies, illustrating Samsung C&T’s comprehensive approach to integrating SMRs into the existing energy infrastructure.
Factors such as the European Union’s green energy financing, which is reportedly set to reach €1 trillion over the coming decade, provide a supportive backdrop for Samsung C&T’s endeavors. Yet, it remains crucial to substantiate the adoption of SMRs with substantial research and public engagement, mitigating any potential resistance rooted in misconceptions about nuclear technology.
