Our vision
At Otrera, we don’t believe in half-measures or temporary fixes in the face of the energy and climate crisis. Our conviction is simple straight forward: the energy transition requires breakthrough technologies built on performance, sovereignty, and long-term sustainability. It’s time to reclaim control over our energy future—with a new generation of nuclear solutions designed for the challenges of the 21st century.
A Sovereign Nuclear Industry for European Strategic Independence
Europe’s energy security can no longer rely on imported critical materials or fragile supply chains. While our roots are in France, our ambition is clearly European. Otrera is building a technology anchored in local resources, controlled supply chains, and a resilient design tailored to diverse regional needs.
- Our approach reduces dependence on foreign supplies of enriched fuels and lowers exposure to geopolitical risks.
- It empowers regions to regain control over their energy production with autonomous, reliable, and locally managed systems.
Breakthrough Technology, Built for Climate and Industry
In the race against climate change, nuclear is the only energy source capable of delivering high-density, round-the-clock power without carbon emissions. Otrera pushes the boundaries further by rethinking nuclear design from the ground up:
- Intrinsic safety: low-pressure sodium design with passive cooling systems that eliminate systemic risks of past generations.
- Cost efficiency: modular architecture, extended maintenance cycles, and optimal fuel usage throughout its lifecycle.
- Industrial performance: stable, flexible energy output to meet both thermal and electric demands of local communities and industries.
We are turning the weaknesses of nuclear historic heritage into a new generation of competitive advantages.
Powering Regions, Designed with Citizens
Access to clean, reliable, and affordable energy should never be a privilege. Otrera champions a transparent and decentralized energy model, fully integrated into local ecosystems.
- Technological transparency: open data, clear communication, full traceability of impacts.
- Community engagement: early-stage consultations and project co-design with local authorities.
- Reindustrialization: skilled job creation, value retained in the region, and revitalization of European expertise in advanced nuclear technologies.
Otrera is not just an alternative. It’s a necessity—for climate, for resilience, for Europe.
We are building a bold and viable energy vision: sovereign, decarbonized, and built to last.
Together, let’s create energy that finally meets the challenges.
