Industrial Heat. Without the Emissions.
Heavy industry accounts for nearly 30% of global CO2 emissions, and the majority of those emissions come from burning fossil fuels to generate process heat. Steel, cement, and chemical production require sustained, high-temperature thermal energy that renewables cannot reliably deliver. The ARC-100 provides 24/7 carbon-free heat with 510°C outlet temperature, delivered directly to your industrial facility with no intermittency and no combustion.
The ARC-100 Delivers Thermal Energy Directly.
Most discussions about nuclear energy focus on electricity generation. But for heavy industry, electricity is only part of the equation. Industrial processes consume enormous quantities of direct thermal energy, heat that is currently produced by burning coal, natural gas, and petroleum coke.
The ARC-100 sodium outlet temperature of 510°C enables direct process heat delivery through a sodium-to-salt or sodium-to-steam heat exchanger. This eliminates the efficiency losses of converting heat to electricity and back to heat. The reactor co-locates with your industrial facility, delivering thermal energy through a closed-loop system with no combustion, no emissions, and no fuel price volatility.
For facilities that require both process heat and electricity, the ARC-100 provides cogeneration capability, splitting its thermal output between direct heat supply and power generation based on your operational requirements.
On-Site. Purpose-Built. Integrated.
Adjacent siting
The ARC-100 is deployed directly adjacent to your industrial facility. Thermal energy is delivered through a closed-loop heat exchange system. No long-distance transmission, no conversion losses, no dependency on grid infrastructure.
24/7 thermal output
Industrial kilns, furnaces, and reactors cannot tolerate heat supply interruptions. The ARC-100 operates continuously at a 95% capacity factor, delivering constant thermal energy regardless of weather, season, or grid conditions.
Zero-emission heat
Carbon taxes and emissions trading schemes are increasing the cost of fossil-fired process in regulated markets. The ARC-100 eliminates process heat emissions entirely, removing carbon cost exposure from your operating budget.
20-year cost lock
Natural gas prices have fluctuated by over 300% in the past five years. The ARC-100 fuel cycle lasts 20 years, locking your thermal energy cost at commissioning and removing commodity price risk from your production economics.
Decarbonize Your Process Heat.
If your facility consumes more than 50MW of thermal energy from fossil fuels, the ARC-100 can eliminate those emissions entirely. Our engineering team is ready to evaluate your heat integration requirements, site constraints, and deployment timeline. Carbon-free industrial heat is not a future promise. It is available now.
