US DOE Invites Nuxsen to Participate in Exploratory Funding Workshops
New York, NY – August 29, 2022 – Today the US Department of Energy invited Nuxsen to participate in the upcoming Clean Energy on Mine Lands Workshops that are being held to inform the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land program as it develops plans for funding opportunities.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes $500 million in funding for clean energy demonstration projects in geographically diverse regions.
“Nuxsen is uniquely positioned to partner with DOE on this initiative. We incorporate many of the technologies DOE is interested in investing in into one project. These technologies include advanced nuclear, direct air capture, CO2 sequestration, CO2 usage, and microgrids,” said Christopher Wight, CEO of Nuxsen.

Nuxsen advises US DOE to use former mine land for Small Modular Reactor-powered Direct Air Capture plants
New York, NY – August 15, 2022 – Nuxsen today responded to the US Department of Energy’s Request for Information (RFI) for the Clean Energy Demonstration Program on Current and Former Mine Land. The program is part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).
The BIL provides the backbone for a more sustainable, resilient, and equitable economy by enhancing U.S. competitiveness, diversifying regional economies, creating good-paying jobs, and ensuring stronger access to economic opportunities for underserved communities.
Nuxsen provided key insights to the program manager regarding the potential for advanced nuclear systems (small modular reactors) to power CO2 net-negative technologies.
In a direct response to DOE’s interest in demonstration projects that utilize two or more clean energy technologies for innovative mine land conversion projects to revitalize and re-balance the nationwide electrical grid, Nuxsen supported and encouraged investments in safe, clean, and renewable nuclear power. Nuxsen is in the early stages of its effort to help bring small modular reactors to market to support any combination of direct air capture, CO2 sequestration, and CO2 utilization facilities.
“The closing of a mining operation typically has a major economic impact on communities resulting in the loss of thousands of direct and indirect jobs, and leaving behind adverse environmental issues,” said Christopher Wight, CEO of Nuxsen. “The remote locations of many former mines often means limited opportunities for job creation necessary to employ displaced workers. We appreciate DOE's innovative approach and we look forward to partnering with them to combine multiple technologies that will benefit communities and the environment.”
