For those who missed it, the webinar (in French 🇫🇷) is now available to watch online. This is your chance to catch up THORIZON's pioneering approach to harnessing spent fuel and thorium for a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. 🎥 Watch the replay here 🇫🇷: https://lnkd.in/ePk6Rr4e   🙏 Thank you once again to Sfen - Société française d'énergie nucléaire (Valerie Faudon, Ludovic Dupin and Patricia HAMEL-BLOCH) for the organization and to the audience for the great questions! #MSR #SMR #deeptech #scaleup #innovation #nuclear #France2030 #hightechindustry #hightech #DutchTech #FrenchTech #netzero

📰 THORIZON featured in the Dutch news 🇳🇱 Thanks to a €10 million subsidy from the French government, key partnerships with for example Orano and EDF, and the research done at Delft University of Technology and NRG we’re making rapid progress. As our CEO, Kiki Lauwers, mentioned, "𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘨." 👉 The location of our first reactor is crucial, we’re exploring options in the Netherlands and France. Our goal is to demonstrate that this technology is not only possible but also commercially viable. 👉 The reactor, based on our patented Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) technology, uses nuclear salt as both fuel and coolant. This design, which incorporates thorium and long-lived nuclear waste, offers a safe and sustainable energy solution. We're confident in the technological feasibility and are working hard to demonstrate its full potential. Thank you to De Telegraaf and Theo Besteman for sharing our story! Let’s continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible. 💡 #MSR #SMR #deeptech #scaleup #innovation #nuclear #France2030 #hightechindustry #hightech #DutchTech #FrenchTech #netzero

📰 𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 📰 Thorizon has partnered with Boccard and its engineering affiliate 2c2i - Conseil Conception Installations Industrielles for the concept design of a 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐩 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. 🤝 We kicked off the project with the experienced team in Lyon and visited the Boccard facilities. 🙏 We would like to thank the Boccard team (Pierre LEFEBVRE, Santo MELI, Médéric da Costa and Francisque Demeure) for their support and hospitality. ✏️ We hope this is the beginning of a larger partnership and look forward on working on the Thorizon One project with Boccard and 2c2i - Conseil Conception Installations Industrielles. #MSR #SMR #deeptech #scaleup #innovation #nuclear #France2030 #hightechindustry #hightech #DutchTech #FrenchTech #netzero

🇨🇵🇳🇱🇪🇺Il y a quelques semaines, j'étais invitée par la SFEN pour présenter le concept de Thorizon lors d'un webinaire. Pour regarder sur la 🏖, dans le 🚂, pendant la publicité des 🥇🥈🥉, la vidéo est là 👉https://lnkd.in/ezwarB8G 🙌 C'était un vrai plaisir de pouvoir présenter dans le détail notre concept breveté de cartouche appliqué aux sels fondus. 🙏🙏🙏 Merci beaucoup Valerie Faudon, Ludovic Dupin, Patricia HAMEL-BLOCH pour l'invitation et la discussion Merci aux participants pour la qualité des questions ! Cela démontre tout l'intérêt porté aux designs de Génération IV 👊👊👊 Rendez-vous en 2032 😉

𝐈𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐮𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭 Yesterday, the Dutch pension fund PME pensioenfonds announced its interest to invest in nuclear energy and publicly encouraged other funds to follow. It's incredible to see government funds, VCs, and impact investors increasingly recognizing nuclear energy's positive impact on the energy transition. 𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐝 ... Nuclear waste (𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘧𝘶𝘦𝘭) still contains a significant amount of carbon-free energy. At THORIZON, we can unlock this energy while reducing long-lived waste. We're proud of our first investors - Positron Ventures, PDENH, Invest-NL, and Impuls Zeeland - who joined us on this great mission two years ago. If you are a fund owner who still has any doubts about nuclear, let's grab a coffee and discuss! ☕ Google translation of website: https://lnkd.in/ePB5dHJg #MSR #SMR #deeptech #scaleup #innovation #nuclear #France2030 #hightechindustry #hightech #DutchTech #FrenchTech #netzero
