Making Environmental Economical
The mission of NET Power is to provide advanced clean energy to consumers worldwide by generating lower cost power with zero emissions.
Our revolutionary Allam-Fetvedt Cycle promises the only immediately available technology that meets the world’s climate goals without paying more for electricity.
Nothing but NET
NET Power’s breakthrough technology, the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle, converts natural and renewable gas into zero emissions power. And the cycle doesn’t just reduce the world’s carbon footprint. It also lowers the price of energy.
In May of 2018, our demonstration plant and testing facility in La Porte, Texas achieved first fire, proving the technology works and becoming the world’s first large-scale supercritical carbon dioxide power plant.
We are determined and capable of meeting the world’s climate goals of net zero by 2050.
Learn more about the Allam-Fetvedt Cycle and where history was made.
2008
Economic crisis spurs 8 Rivers Capital to design a new way to generate power without emitting carbon dioxide.
2010
NET Power is founded on January 8, 2010.
8 Rivers Capital makes the first investment and provides on-going vision, technology development, engineering, sales, marketing and project development support.
Both organizations are headquartered and co-located at the historic American Tobacco Campus in Durham, North Carolina.

McDermott becomes the second investor, advancing technology from concept to reality. They provide petrochemical engineering, procurement and construction expertise.
2014
Exelon becomes the third investor, providing extensive power generation and operational experience.
2016
Construction on the 50 MWt La Porte, Texas demonstration and testing facility begins in March, rivaling the world’s most elite facilities including NASA.
2018
The La Porte demonstration and testing facility achieves a key milestone—combustor first fire—and becomes the world's first large-scale supercritical carbon dioxide power plant.
2018
OXY Low Carbon Ventures becomes the fourth investor, providing global CO2 storage expertise.
2020
Multiple projects are in development worldwide for rapid global deployment of commercial units.
2050
The world meets its climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050.
We make existing power plants
