250 MW Net Continuous Power with Inherent Carbon Capture

Artificial Intelligence is sparking an unprecedented data center power crisis. Next-generation AI clusters demand hundreds of megawatts of highly dense, 24/7/365 baseload power. Reliance on intermittent renewables leaves grids vulnerable, while legacy fossil generation triggers severe carbon penalties and public backlash.

This 250 MW Net Supercritical CO₂ (sCO₂) Oxy-Combustion Power Block delivers the ultimate solution: uncompromised baseload reliability, a hyper-compact footprint, zero atmospheric emissions, and a highly competitive LCOE. This technology allows data center operators to secure their energy independence and achieve absolute net-zero targets simultaneously.

The Core Value Proposition

1. Eliminating the Grid Bottleneck

Grid Independence: Bypass years of utility interconnection delays by deploying a dedicated, on-site 250 MW thermal power block.

True Baseload Power: Unlike solar or wind, this system provides 95%+ capacity factors, ensuring continuous, uninterrupted power for high-density AI training and inference workloads.

2. Hyper-Compact Physical Footprint

15-Acre Footprint: Because sCO₂ operates at extreme power densities, a full 250 MW block occupies under 20 acres—less than a third of the space required by traditional combined-cycle plants.

Modular Integration: The ultra-compact turbine module can easily be co-located directly adjacent to data center campus boundaries, drastically minimizing transmission line losses.

3. Inherent Net-Zero Compliance

Oxy-Combustion Cycle: By burning fuel in pure oxygen rather than ambient air, the exhaust consists entirely of water vapor and high-purity CO₂.

No Efficiency Penalties: Unlike legacy gas plants that require sprawling, expensive post-combustion chemical scrubbers, this system isolates and captures 98%+ of generated CO₂ internally within the primary cycle. The carbon is compressed instantly into a pipeline-ready stream for geological storage or industrial reuse.
