Carbon-Free Energy for Global Industry

Terrestrial Energy is an industry-leading technology company dedicated to delivering reliable, emission-free, and cost-competitive nuclear energy solutions. The company addresses the critical global challenge of transitioning away from fossil fuels, which currently power industrial processes, transportation, and electricity generation. Recognizing the urgent need for a zero-carbon alternative, Terrestrial Energy is committed to providing a scalable, reliable, and economical heat source to rapidly displace fossil fuel combustion.

At the core of Terrestrial Energy's innovation is its proprietary small modular reactor (SMR) design, the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR). This game-changing fission technology utilizes molten salt as a coolant, offering superior performance compared to conventional water-cooled nuclear systems. The IMSR operates safely at much higher temperatures and lower pressures, eliminating the need for complex and costly pressurized cooling systems found in traditional nuclear power plants.

IMSR cogeneration plants are designed to generate both high-temperature heat and electric power for industrial applications without emitting air pollutants such as CO2, NOX, SOX, or PM2.5. This advanced design achieves an impressive 44% electricity generation efficiency, which is 50% higher than conventional nuclear power plants, delivering significant economic advantages. By providing high-temperature heat, the IMSR can directly replace fossil fuel-derived heat in numerous industrial processes, contributing to deep decarbonization across various sectors.

Terrestrial Energy is on a clear path to market, leveraging over 65 years of research, development, and demonstration in molten salt fission technology. The modular design, coupled with modern advanced component manufacturing techniques, enables IMSR cogeneration plants to be constructed in less than four years. The company anticipates rapid deployment and an international rollout of IMSR plants commencing in 2030, aiming to transform the global energy landscape with powerful, affordable, and carbon-free energy.
