The only deployable anywhere carbon-free technology that can be baseload
Saving the planet while providing enough power to sustain growing global energy demand.
X-energy reactors can act as a baseload and guarantor for communities that need a reliable source of zero-carbon energy around the clock, making the use of renewables more feasible.
Meeting Worldwide Demand
Meeting projected worldwide demand for electric power over the next 20 years—while forging a path towards a carbon-neutral energy generation—cannot be accomplished without nuclear power.
But while nuclear is regarded as the best clean-energy companion to renewable sources (solar, wind), new nuclear-plant construction and refurbishments have barely kept pace with shutdowns.
