Let’s Talk Clean Energy Investment

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.
