Blue Capsule Technology specializes in the development and deployment of compact, small modular reactors (SMRs) that deliver up to 150 MWth of industrial-grade heat, high-temperature steam, and 50 MWe of electricity. The company's innovative design integrates high-temperature reactor (HTR) technology with sodium-cooled reactor technology, ensuring maximum safety and efficiency. Blue Capsule's reactors are co-localized underground, offering robust protection against external hazards and making core melt practically impossible due to the use of TRISO fuel in a naturally circulating sodium pool at atmospheric pressure.

Blue Capsule Technology primarily serves industries requiring high-temperature heat, steam, or electricity, such as chemical manufacturing, hydrogen production, and ammonia production. The company operates in the clean energy market, focusing on reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting decarbonization. Its business model involves the sale and deployment of SMRs, generating revenue through reactor sales, installation services, and ongoing maintenance contracts.

By producing steam for solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC) at high temperatures, Blue Capsule significantly reduces the cost of green hydrogen production. Additionally, combining Blue Capsule's heat with renewable electricity can further lower hydrogen production costs. This makes Blue Capsule an attractive solution for industries looking to decarbonize and transition to low-carbon energy sources.
