Summary:
Arbor Energy, founded by ex-SpaceX employees, raised $55 million for clean power technology.
Uses rocket-inspired combustion with natural gas or biomass to generate carbon-free electricity.
Produces supercritical carbon dioxide to spin turbines and captures CO2 for storage.
Aims to provide always-available power for AI data centers to meet high energy demands.
Arbor Energy's Innovative Power Generation
Founded by former SpaceX employees, Arbor Energy has secured $55 million in funding to develop technology that generates always-available, carbon-free electricity. This breakthrough aims to power the growing demands of artificial intelligence data centers.
How the Technology Works
Arbor's system utilizes rocket-inspired technology that combusts natural gas or biomass with a stream of oxygen. This process creates supercritical carbon dioxide—CO2 in a fluid state—which spins a turbine to produce electricity. Crucially, the CO2 is captured and stored, making the process environmentally friendly.
