Fusion for Industrial Process Heat

Industry needs vast firm heat, much of it fossil-fired today. A fusion plant can supply firm high-grade heat and power together — a route to decarbonizing hard-to-electrify industry.

Need

Firm, high-grade heat for industry

Today

Largely fossil-fired

Fusion offer

Firm heat + power, zero operating CO₂

Fit

Hard-to-electrify heavy industry

Industrial process heat — for chemicals, cement, steel, and more — is one of the largest and hardest-to-abate sources of emissions, because it needs vast amounts of firm, high-grade heat that intermittent renewables can't easily supply. It's a natural application for firm fusion.

A fusion plant can deliver both firm electricity and high-grade heat with zero operating CO₂. Because Kronos MetroVolt is firm and dispatchable, it can run the continuous, high-utilization duty cycle that industrial processes require — unlike weather-dependent supply. Its siting flexibility also lets it be built near industrial clusters.

Decarbonizing heavy industry is widely seen as one of the toughest pieces of the energy transition. Firm, clean, co-located heat and power is exactly the tool it's missing — and part of why firm fusion's value extends well beyond the electricity grid.
