Press release

Veolia and Calogena have signed a one-year Memorandum of Cooperation to explore the potential of Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology to decarbonize district heating networks, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe.

As part of this funding round, the company, a subsidiary of the Gorgé Group, welcomes Snef Group, Banque des Territoires and the Deep Tech 2030 fund – managed on behalf of the State by Bpifrance – as new shareholders.

Calogena today announces two major steps to accelerate its development: new support from France 2030 and a capital increase, totaling nearly €100 million in funding.

International coverage of our latest milestone. NucNet reports on the strategic agreement signed between Calogena and Orano, reinforcing our cooperation on the nuclear fuel cycle to support the deployment of our district heating SMRs.

At the World Nuclear Exhibition, the international civil nuclear trade show, Orano and Calogena announced the signing of a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening their collaboration on the CAL30 small modular reactor project. Developed by Calogena, the CAL30 is a new-generation light water reactor, classified as an SMR (Small Modular Reactor), with a thermal power of 30 MW. It is specifically designed to provide carbon-free energy to district heating networks, thereby responding to the challenges of energy transition and decarbonisation in local areas.

On the occasion of the World Nuclear Exhibition, Škoda JS and Calogena announced the signing of a partnership agreement to strengthen their collaboration in the framework of the small modular reactor project "CAL30".

On 20 October in Luxembourg, Finnish Minister of the Environment and Climate Sari Multala and French Minister of the Economy, Finance and Energy Transition Roland Lescure signed a declaration of intent to establish long-term, diversified cooperation between Finland and France in the field of nuclear energy.

The leading news source for the global nuclear industry highlights our agreement with the CEA. The article details the letter of intent signed to assess the siting of the first Calogena reactor at Cadarache, a key milestone for technical validation and the integration of our solution into district heating networks.

Calogena and the CEA have signed a letter of intent to examine the potential installation of a Calogena module at the CEA's Cadarache centre, as well as its possible connection to the centre's heating network. An area has been selected for assessing the feasibility of installing the Calogena module at this location.

Gorgé-teollisuuskonsernin tytäryhtiö Calogena kehittää pienikokoista modulaarista reaktoria kaukolämmön tuotantoon. Yhtiö on saanut Kuopion Energialta, Kuopion kaupungin kaukolämpöoperaattorilta, virallisen kutsun osallistua ympäristövaikutusten arviointimenettelyyn (YVA) kolmesta Calogenan moduulista.

Calogena, a subsidiary of the Gorgé industrial group developing a small modular reactor for district heating, has announced that it received an official invitation from Kuopion Energia, the public operator of the district heating network in Kuopio (Finland), to take part in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process for the equivalent of three of its modules.

Calogena chooses Finland to expand activities in the Nordics. Under the leadership of Tor Stendahl, a veteran in the green transition, the company aims to build small nuclear reactors for district heating in Finland to support net-zero objectives.

Calogena, French leader in the development of small modular nuclear reactors (SMR), announces the submission of its safety option file (DOS) to the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN).

The CityHeat project, carried by Calogena and Steady Energy (Finland) was selected by the European Commission in the call for projects within the European Industrial Alliance on SMRs

The European Industrial Alliance on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) has selected nine SMR projects for its first round of project working groups (PWGs), marking a major step towards deploying SMR technologies in Europe by the early 2030s.

Calogena has completed the developments that will enable it to choose the fuel most commonly used by the French nuclear industry: a "rod" type fuel, a tried and tested solution.
