Alleima insights

Learn more about the fascinating opportunities of materials technology. In this edition of Alleima insights, we discuss groundbreaking developments in hydrogen and fossil-free opportunities with Small Modular Reactors (SMR). Also, join us in celebrating our EcoVadis assessment of our sustainability performance.

Hydrogen – potentially a crucial piece in the energy puzzle

Hydrogen stands to play a key part in tackling the world’s energy challenges. With global electricity consumption growing at record rates, hydrogen is not only one of the future leading options for storing energy – it can also be used together with oxygen directly as fuel or to generate electricity.

Global electricity consumption will require both a rapid expansion of the overall electricity production capacity and better utilization of the surplus electricity generated by renewable energy sources. Hydrogen can be used across various applications from mobility to heavy industry, directly as a combustion fuel to generate electricity, or as backup power – thereby helping to decarbonize transportation and industries.

The next big thing in nuclear

Small-scale nuclear reactors are starting to be developed around the world. Designed to introduce more flexibility in the nuclear energy industry, they are set to open up new opportunities.

The ambitions reflected in net zero targets have encouraged innovation in nuclear power technologies, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMR). SMRs refer to a type of nuclear reactor that is smaller in size and has a modular design compared to traditional large-scale nuclear reactors. It provides a more flexible and scalable nuclear power option that can be deployed in various settings, such as remote areas or locations with smaller power demands. SMRs hold the promise of being more affordable, easier, and faster to build than conventional large reactors. Find the full article here.
