Fluxnium Startup Extracts Ocean Uranium to Fuel Nuclear Power for Millennia

The ocean holds vast amounts of uranium dissolved in its waters.

This resource could support global nuclear energy needs for thousands of years.

Unlocking Abundant Clean Energy Sources

Fluxnium has developed polymer fibers that pull uranium from seawater effectively.

The startup licensed core chemistry from U.S. Department of Energy labs and improved fiber design for better results.

Its approach uses braided fibers deployed on ocean buoys much like seaweed farms.

After weeks at sea the fibers return to shore for uranium extraction and reuse.

This method avoids toxic waste common in traditional mining operations.

Powering the Future of AI and Beyond

Nuclear power demand is rising fast due to expanding data centers and clean energy goals.

Fluxnium's innovation could ease supply shortages and geopolitical risks in uranium sourcing.

Founder Jeff Green brings experience from prior successful ventures in tech and sustainability.

The company recently secured funding to scale its technology toward commercial use.

Long term this could make nuclear fuel more accessible and support energy independence worldwide.
