Strategic Objectives
• Master the principles of supercritical fluid dynamics for power generation.
• Optimize turbomachinery design for high-density, low-viscosity working fluids.
• Reduce plant footprint while significantly increasing thermal output.
• Integrate sCO2 cycles across nuclear, solar, and fossil fuel applications.
The Core Challenge
Traditional steam-based power cycles have reached a plateau, limited by massive footprint requirements and inherent thermodynamic inefficiencies.
