Denmark’s Seaborg Technologies and another Danish nuclear firm are interested to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Philippines’ Department of Energy (DOE) on deploying sea-based small modular reactor (SMR) technology, according to Denmark Ambassador to the Philippines Franz-Michael Mellbin.
“We want to push this MOU forward because the SMR technology of Seaborg is very promising in reaching a technological breakthrough.. because it is a seaborne solution, so that has a lot of advantages,” said Mellbin.
According to Manila Bulletin, a part of the MOU, Seaborg will also offer the Philippines’s energy market the storage potential of its technology besides deploying nuclear reactors, the Ambassador added.
“This Seaborg solution can also be used for energy storage and that’s actually very interesting –they are building the first commercial version of this energy storage. We need cheap industrial-size energy storage and sodium can also store energy very efficiently,” he said.
Seaborg already has sites set for the SMR technology in the markets of Indonesia and Vietnam, “that’s what Seaborg would want to explore here in the Philippines also,” Mellbin added.”

The potential collaboration between Denmark’s Seaborg Technologies and the Philippines’ Department of Energy for deploying sea-based small modular reactor (SMR) technology is indeed a fascinating development in the energy sector. The aspect of using this technology for energy storage is particularly interesting, as it aligns with the growing global need for efficient and scalable energy solutions. Just as Seaborg is innovating in the energy field, it’s crucial for businesses in all sectors to embrace technological advancements. For instance, in the realm of business communications, VOIP for business in Perth represents a similar stride towards efficiency and modernization. Leveraging such technologies can significantly enhance operational capabilities, much like the potential impact of Seaborg’s SMR technology in the energy domain.
