Electricity
Designed to produce 24/7 clean power for Data Centers, Microgrids, and Residential and Commercial users
Reliable Energy for Every Sector
Achieving ultra-high heat output will allow ZettaJoule to provide solutions for industrial applications beyond the reach of conventional SMRs – in areas such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, steelmaking, mining, and e-fuels.
Additionally, the company’s advanced SMRs can provide reliable 24/7 electricity for microgrids serving data centers as well as commercial and residential sectors.
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.
Common Questions
We stand alone among Western advanced small modular reactor companies in our modernization of proven, publicly available High-Temperature Gas-Cooled (HTGR) technology based on an existing plant - not just a concept.We stand alone among Western advanced small modular reactor companies in our modernization of proven, publicly available High-Temperature Gas-Cooled (HTGR) technology based on an existing plant - not just a concept.
Information and data available on the Japan Atomic Energy Agency’s High-Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) provide the foundation for our modernized, advanced SMR technology. The HTTR has been in use since 1998 in Ibaraki Prefecture northeast of Tokyo.

Major industrial operations rely on fossil fuels for high-temperature process heat and are considered hard to abate due to limited viable alternatives. However, our High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor (HTGR) will be capable of supporting energy-intensive processes by operating at temperatures up to 950 °C.
Industries where our ZJ reactor offers the strongest value proposition include Oil and Gas, Chemical Operations, Data Centers, Steelmaking, Transportation and E-Fuels, and Mining.
Conventional light-water reactors (LWRs) cannot provide the same industrial solutions because their heat output is significantly lower.
By modernizing the proven, publicly available technology of the High Temperature Engineering Test Reactor (HTTR) in Japan, which has been in operation since 1998, we anticipate a more streamlined and predictable licensing and construction process compared to other small modular reactor (SMR) companies.
Our reactors will be available as single or multiple modules, giving customers flexibility based on their energy needs without having to commit to a massive reactor facility. Customers will be able to purchase energy as off-takers.
Clean Energy as a Service
A Full-Service Energy Solution
We offer our customers a range of financing and operational benefits adapted to their needs, including the option to operate solely as off-takers. In this case, ZettaJoule assumes ownership, operations, and staffing of the reactor.
This “Energy-as-a-Service” approach ensures customers can access clean, reliable energy, without the complexities of running a nuclear plant.
