About Propelcore

MARITIME NUCLEAR

  • The company has acquired a robust experience with both:
    • the engineering, construction and commissioning of large onshore nuclear power plants from 1976 to 1984 as leading engineer of the nuclear department in charge of the Belgian nuclear power plants
    • large floating plants projects (fishfarm, FPSO, accommodation barge ..) from concept to construction and operation
    • concept development of disruptive, zero-emission wind propelled vessels, as owner of 33% of PROPELWIND, founder and leader
  • Since 2 years, nuclear energy is gaining traction for power plants thanks to the combination of 4 factors:
    • strategic importance of energy independence
    • zero GHG emissions
    • improving public and national authorities acceptance
    • emergence of a new generation of reactors: SMRs; safer, compact, and producing less waste and with a shorter lifetime
  • Likewise, nuclear ship propulsion is gaining traction for the same reasons as above, plus:
    • the quantity of green fuel needed to decarbonize the shipping industry will never be sufficient, by far
    • nuclear reactors re-fueling period can easily be extended to 25 years ..
    • .. so no uncertainty anymore on fuel prices
  • PROPELSEAS s.a.s. is ready and willing to contribute efficiently to the development of nuclear propelled vessels. Therefore, PROPELSEAS will directly benefit from the know-how, network and activities of its parent company planette.be  in the new domain of Floating Nuclear Power Plants (“FNPP’s”)
