Did you know that coal plants can be repurposed with advanced reactors to become clean energy generators? TerraPraxis and our partners from Microsoft and Schneider Electric gathered at DISTRIBUTECH to showcase the largest single carbon abatement opportunity on the planet.

Shutting coal plants down is not a viable worldwide solution because it would be devastating to local economies and is unrealistic practically, economically, and politically—even more so during the current global energy crisis. A key to de-risk our energy transition is to repurpose as much existing infrastructure as possible with high-density clean energy to maintain or increase energy output of existing sites, including repowering existing power plant sites with zero-carbon advanced heat sources.

TerraPraxis partnered with Microsoft to develop an developed an app for coal plant owners to evaluate the feasibility to convert their assets into clean energy producers.
