KiNRG’s patented HydroThermal Reactor is a breakthrough in clean energy infrastructure. Using only warm air and water, the Reactor generates continuous, utility-scale electricity, without combustion, fuel, or the need for energy storage.
The HydroThermal Reactor, or HTR, increases uptime and energy productivity while delivering reliable, zero-emission power at a lower cost than traditional renewables.
Protecting multi-stage energy extraction system.
Compared to traditional renewable energy sources like wind and solar.
Solar & wind last just 20–25 years
for Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS)
KiNRG’s technology works around the clock. It’s modular, scalable, and built using conventional construction materials for rapid deployment.
Advantages Over Traditional Renewables:
Consistent energy generation, day and night.

KiNRG has assembled a team of accomplished engineers, scientists, and business leaders with deep expertise across clean energy systems, large-scale development, and regulatory navigation. Together, we’ve advanced a concept into a commercially viable energy solution, and are now focused on executing it globally.
Ron Pickett, KiNRG’s founder and CEO, brings over 50 years of construction, development and innovative technology skills and expertise to the team. He has founded several innovative companies, including the first international telemedicine provider for the shipping industry; a major U.S. sustainable energy, composting and recycling facility; and Telkonet, which pioneered broadband over powerline communications and commercial energy management to the hospitality, real estate and defense sectors. Mr. Pickett has a deep understanding of government, legislative, and permitting practices, and has guided five companies from the startup and early stage through the public ownership process. Additionally, Mr. Pickett served as President and a Director of internet and wifi services provider Microwave Systems Technology Inc., and Vice Chairman of Geeks on Call Holdings, Inc., a public company that provided quick-response, on-site computer solutions. His early career work included consulting for Frouge and Gulf Oil on real estate deals, and later for Madison Square Garden Corporation on asset liquidation. He earned a degree in history from Gordon College.
Flip Wallen, a 46-year veteran of the commercial real estate industry, specializes in mission-critical construction, particularly in the data center market. A James Madison University graduate with a BBA in Management Information Systems, he has developed over 3 million square feet of data center space in Northern Virginia's "Data Center Alley." Mr. Wallen founded TRINITY Group Construction in 2002, a leading commercial construction company in the DC Metro area. He joined the company as Executive Vice President of Construction & Development in late 2020 and now serves as its President, advising on the integration of an Eco-Energy Park with a data center and the HydroThermal Reactor data center projects.
Mark Aulabaugh is a senior construction executive with 30+ years of experience driving growth and execution in the commercial concrete and petrochemical sectors. Known for scaling operations, building top-performing teams, and forging lasting client relationships, he brings a steady, impact-oriented approach to leadership across domestic and international markets. As Director of Business Development for Baker Concrete Construction’s DC region, Mr. Aulabaugh helped grow the business from $45M to $300M in annual revenue. Under his leadership, the team delivered high-profile projects across mission-critical, high-rise, and institutional sectors – expanding the firm’s footprint and deepening client trust. His international leadership experience includes overseeing large-scale industrial projectsacross the Middle East, South Africa, and the South Pacific during his time with Chicago Bridge & Iron. He holds a degree in Civil Engineering from Virginia Tech.

Approximately 1½% of the energy produced and that amount is built into the program. The program calculates the net energy produced.
The HTR has a zero carbon foot print.
The HTR required warm/hot air. After sunset, the earth cools from the ground up. Cooler hours between midnight and sunrise dimmish the production. That’s why the lowest hours of night time winter hours determine the base load capacity which targets 200 Megawatts.
The need for AI data centers has created a demand for energy that far exceeds existing generating capacity. Our aging electrical grid system lacks the transmission capacity even if we could build enough new power plants fast enough to meet demand. Consequently, co-locating the HTR’s on the same site with the data center eliminates the need for large power plants and by passes the need for the grid. That’s called a “Behing the Meter” solution because the data center is independent from the grid.
Southern California to western Texas approximately 100 miles from the Mexico border as well as the Mexican side of the border is suitable. Most of Australia works as well. The most ideal locations range from Morocco through Egypt as well as all across the Mid-Eastern Countries and into Western India.
KiNRG considers the cost of the HTR to be proprietary. The Company plans to own the HTR’s and sell energy to data centers under long term fixed price contracts. The HTR’s are projected to be very profitable assuming the current rates for electricity.
The reactor is concrete and rebar. Although concrete structures are designed for 50 years, it would be unusual for their life not to exceed 75 years.
The generators, when properly maintained should perform for 30 years before replacement. The 36 turbines have a useful life of 20 years and each of the 3 blades per turbine are replaceable. Pumps should be changed out every 10 years with spares which most often can be refurbished.
If drawing water from a well, independent 3rd party studies conclude that the HTR simply borrows waters, captures and re-circulates the vast majority of the water and discharges only cold damp air from its tunnels which irrigate the surrounding land and replenish the aquifer. The HTR does not create a plume or discharge water. The fact that the HTR filters the water means that it actually returns the borrowed water cleaner than when originally drawn.
The HTR is an ideal power solution for data centers. Data centers require constant power 24/7/365. Traditional renewable energy from solar or wind produces energy only when the Sun shines or the Wind blows.
The evaporating cooler air falls at a scientifically predictable speed to the bottom of the reactor where it is forced into smaller tunnels surrounding the base of the Reactor. Inside each tunnel is a 3-bladed turbine that spins and powers hydraulic pumps which circulate hydraulic fluid in a closed loop system that spins generators in a separate generating room .Generators send the power to the project’s own substation which provide power to the co-located data center and can direct the excess day time power over and above the base load to the grid.
Not yet but KiNRG built a pilot project as a proof-of-concept 400’ tall HTR for the U.S. Department of Energy which verified the evaporative process and validated the algorithms in the KiNRG program model.
