Converging Energy Technologies
Conference CET2024September 18-20 2024, at Oskarshamn Sweden
Centre for New Energy Technology in Oskarshamn (CNETO), KTH, Uniper, OKG and Municipality of Oskarshamn
Forum conference center in Oskarshamn and a selection of sites for conference visits and excursions.
CET2024 is a meeting place for energy providers, regulating bodies and policy makers, utilities, producers and prospective buyers of SMR and related technologies, and the interested public.
CET2024 will address the following topics:
Global overview of nuclear reactor development, including
- Small modular reactor (SMR) projects; status and economics
- Large nuclear new-build projects
- Lifetime extension of current reactors
- The nuclear power life cycle, including decommissioning
Electrification and decarbonization in Europe and energy needs until 2040, policy and regulatory aspects, grid integration
Integration of SMR and renewables into local and regional energy systems, including energy storage
Role of nuclear energy for a CO2 neutral Europe
Role of hydrogen production with nuclear and renewables
CO2 capture supported by nuclear and renewables
CET2024
Converging Energy Technologies 2024
CET2024 – September 18-20, at Oskarshamn Sweden.
Conference brief
The rapid integration of renewables within the energy system in combination with the event of new technologies like small nuclear reactors (SMR) are transforming tomorrow’s energy system.
The conference will present new energy technologies and their system aspects at national, regional, and local level with emphasis on the convergence of SMR with renewables, hydrogen production and CO2 capture.

Converging Technologies
Converging technologies describes the development of different technologies into a single new technology. The origin was framed early on e.g to describe the relation between medicin and engineering, resulting in new technologies like biomedical engineering.
Today the term is frequently used within the media landscape, where the present smart mobile telephones combine a set of different technologies.
To quote Wikipedia:
“Technological convergence, is the tendency for technologies that were originally unrelated to become more closely integrated and even unified as they develop and advance.”

Within the field of energy, we see similar trends that CET2024 is addressing, where different technologies like energy storage, hydrogen production, district heating, smart grid, nuclear, hydro, wind and solar power are integrated to form a new smart energy system. The advance of small nuclear reactors (SMR) is central in speeding up the process of converging energy technologies.
