The world’s first corporate agreement between Kairos Power and Google to purchase nuclear energy creates a new era of privatisation in the global market of energy production, especially nuclear energy, in meeting sustainability goals.

Google has played an important role in accelerating clean energy solutions, and it takes a jump to power generation by nuclear energy. It is targeting an initial phase intended to bring Kairos Power’s first SMR online quickly and safely by 

2030. And enabling power up to 200 GW of advanced nuclear capacity in the U.S. by 2050. 

This agreement signifies two reasons, with the grid supporting new electricity resources, supporting AI technologies, improving services for businesses and customers, and driving national competitiveness, and also offering the most prominent clean energy, reliably meeting energy demands, and driving rapidly into the decarbonisation of eclectic grids.

To develop and commercialise in this sector, making a new approach in the clean energy activities where it already ventured into various renewable energies such as solar and wind. And it’s 24/7 carbon-free and net zero goals pushing to take steps in this agreement further. 

It mainly focusses on developing nuclear reactors with simple design and robust and inherent safety. Smaller-sized modular designs contribute reduced construction timelines and more predictable outcomes. Kairos power technology is already working on the molten salt cooling system, which is an effective method for cooling nuclear reactors, and new moderator technologies too, which help in increasing the efficiency of the generated power. 

As there is a spike in the usage of electricity, there is a need to adapt technologies to develop power, causing less pollution. Each and every country is struggling to stand in this field and still cannot make effective steps because of the lack of research and technologies, and safety concerns are the major issues that made steps back, even though there is abundant availability of fuel. 

Commercialisation in this field surely leads to better dumping technologies for nuclear waste and also improves efficiency in power generation. Capital investment would not be a problem for this company as it yields high profits in different sectors. With its unique and highly efficient managerial tactics, recently it completed a geothermal project with Fervo Energy. 

And earlier this year they partnered with the U.S. to create a clean energy transition, making clean, affordable, and easier grid-connected electrical systems, leading to this agreement.
