Modularity, Standardization & Scalability
Power plants today are built to order as unique entities with standalone function. Universal Energy designs energy infrastructure to be modular, standardized and scalable in a cooperative mindset.
-
Next-Generation Manufacturing & Prefabrication
Universal Energy's technologies are prefabricated on next-generation assembly lines as standardized, iterative models. This enables rapid deployment, ease of maintenance and flexibility in configuration.
-
Cogenerative Energy & Resource Production
Universal Energy heavily leverages cogeneration - the idea of using the waste energy of one technology to power the functions of another - to inexpensively produce both energy and resources on large scales.

Universal Energy
Universal Energy is a framework for generating energy and producing resources. It outlines strategies to deploy the best energy technologies we have available into a smart, cooperative system that's designed to work together from the ground up. Its goal is to make energy cheap and universal, allowing humanity to produce vital resources to scale.

Renewable Cities
Integrating renewable power directly within city infrastructure avoids the need to buy expensive land, enabling deployment closest to where electricity is consumed. This also creates a smart electric grid that amplifies municipal energy production and reduces external energy demand, eventually transforming cities into power plants.

Cogenerative Design
By transforming our power and resource infrastructure into modular and standardized systems that can be mass-produced at scale, we can deploy them cooperatively within a self-contained ecosystem where the waste energy of one technology can be used to power the functions of another. The result? Unlimited fresh water and hydrogen fuel.

The National Aqueduct
The National Aqueduct is a smart nationwide delivery system for desalinated fresh water. It's designed to end drought and our reliance on natural freshwater sources while doubling as both a "battery" for renewables and a potent means of generating power.

Scalable Carbon Capture
By leveraging the abundant energy generated by all frameworks, we can power systems that remove greenhouse gasses from our atmosphere. As a true solution to climate change, this also provides a sustainable supply of clean fuels that allow us to live in greater harmony with our environment for the indefinite future.

A new approach to energy generation and resource production
The combination of these systems - working together as a team - enable a massive abundance of inexpensive energy that can be harnessed to produce the five essential resources for our civilization:
Water. Food. Electricity. Fuel. Building Materials.
Universal Energy accomplishes this goal by leveraging three critical concepts:
Made possible only by recent breakthroughs in computing, material science and computer-aided manufacturing, this approach transforms our ability to generate energy and synthetically produce resources. It also allows us to solve global problems and power systems that can dramatically improve our way of life:
