Powering the World
Clean Heat and Electricity to Power a World of Industrial Applications
The Name Reflects our Mission
Projections by the U.S. Department of Energy show that annual global energy demand by the year 2050 will reach one billion times one trillion (zetta) units of energy (joules).
ZettaJoule
\ ˈze-tə-ˌjül \
One zettajoule equals 10²¹ joules, or one billion trillion joules.
Modernizing Proven Technology
We're the only Western advanced small modular reactor (SMR) company modernizing the established, publicly available technology of Japan's High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor, which is capable of producing industrial process heat up to 950 °C.
Our SMR facility will be a next-generation energy campus, defined by contemporary architectural elements - softened structural lines and sculpted façades that integrate thoughtfully with surrounding environments.
Intelligent Systems
Our modernized design leverages artificial intelligence and AI-based digital twins to streamline operations, cut costs, accelerate delivery, and minimize human error.
Heat
High-temperature heat opens up the widest range of applications, from Chemicals to Steelmaking and District heating
Heat & Power
Can produce heat and electricity for Oil & Gas facilities, Mining operations & other industrial facilities
Hydrogen
Highly efficient hydrogen production for Chemicals (ammonia, polymers, e-fuels), Oil & Gas facilities, and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Electricity
Designed to produce 24/7 clean power for Data Centers, Microgrids, and Residential and Commercial users
Unmatched
Heat Capabilities
Our ZJ advanced SMR will be designed to operate at temperatures up to 950 °C, which is approximately 600 °C higher than conventional water-cooled reactors, while also providing reliable power.
Modernizing Nuclear Technology Unlocking High-Temperature Systems
Together, these capabilities unlock transformative energy solutions across key sectors, including oil and gas, steelmaking, aviation, data centers, e-fuels and other high-value uses.
Carbon-Free Process Heat for the Oil & Gas Industry
Our advanced SMRs will operate at temperatures up to 950 °C to deliver clean heat and high-efficiency power to help decarbonize oil and gas operations.
Clean Power and Process Heat for Chemical Plants
We are developing SMRs capable of operating at 950 °C, covering and exceeding the full 300-850 °C range chemical operations require.
Carbon-Free Energy for Aviation, Transportation, and Shipping
The ZJ reactor provides more reliable, scalable energy than biomass or solar for hydrogen-based synthetic fuel production.
Clean Process Heat and Electricity for Steelmaking
ZettaJoule's advanced nuclear technology enables deep decarbonization for emissions-intensive steelmaking.
Carbon-Free Process Heat and Electricity for Mining and Refining
Our nuclear systems provide high-temperature heat and clean power for remote mining of rare earths, lithium, and critical minerals.
Clean, Steady Power for Data Centers
Deployed on-site, our advanced SMRs will deliver 24/7 zero-carbon electricity to power data centers and supply waste heat to support efficient cooling.
Innovative Nuclear Energy for Communities
When paired with complementary technologies, our SMRs can provide carbon-free electricity and heating, while supporting e-fuel production for entire communities.
Zero-Carbon Energy for Desalination
Steady, carbon-free energy and heat from our SMRs enable large-scale desalination to meet global freshwater needs.
24/7 Clean Energy as a Service
We provide our customers with a range of financing and operational benefits, including the option to operate solely as off-takers.
Through this Energy-as-a-Service approach, we own, operate, and staff nuclear facilities, freeing our customers from the complexities of managing a nuclear plant.
Meet the International Team Behind Our Technology
ZettaJoule brings together world-class experts in nuclear engineering, large-scale project management, and finance to provide clean energy solutions for a wide range of industrial and technical operations.
