GFP is proposing to construct and operate a 15 megawatt thermal (MWth) (approximately 5 MW electrical) MMR plant at the Chalk River campus that would serve as a model for future small modular reactor (SMR) deployments to support remote and industrial applications. The MMR has an operating life-span of 20 years.

Nearly all of the world’s ship fleet still runs on diesel fuel, with about a quarter of new ships on order being built to run on somewhat lower-carbon alternatives like liquefied natural gas, methanol, or hybrid propulsion. Shipping uses over 300 million tonnes of fossil fuels every year, producing 3 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.

And with the popularity of electric vehicles, the grid is under more and more pressure, so the demand for energy storage is growing. chemical, kinetic, or thermal) and convert them back to useful forms of energy like electricity. Storage can also help smooth out demand, avoiding price spikes for electricity customers.
