Domnin Erard
Reactor architect (ex-Technicatome)
I joined Blue Capsule because I am convinced we can make a real difference in tackling climate change. Energy-intensive industries urgently need access to high-temperature, low-carbon heat. Blue Capsule brings together proven nuclear technologies with pragmatic industrial integration to decarbonise real sites—not just demonstration projects. Our safety design is robust, and the project economics are built around the client. In my view, this makes our technology indispensable for cutting CO₂ emissions where they matter most.
Aurélie Lorin
Safety & Licensing Director (ex-ASN, ex-OECD NEA)
I joined Blue Capsule to bring my safety and licensing expertise to a project with the potential to transform industry. After several years at the French Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) and the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency, I know how critical regulatory rigour is for the credibility and acceptance of new solutions. Blue Capsule shows that innovation and regulatory excellence can go hand in hand: safety and compliance are built in from the very start, without compromising industrial performance. This approach makes our technology credible, sustainable, and indispensable for large-scale decarbonisation.
