ADES – THE GAME CHANGER IN ENERGY PRODUCTION

With ADES, we are developing a pioneering energy source with zero CO2 emissions and an extremely low risk profile. Thanks to its modular design, ADES will be globally deployable and, as an energy building block, offers an answer to the most pressing questions of the 21st century: climate change, energy supply, and security!

20 YEARS OF ENERGY FOR 10,000 HOUSEHOLDS

WITH ONLY ONE MODULE

Left Content

ADES, our pioneering energy generation module, is revolutionizing the way energy is generated. A single ADES module will supply 10,000 households with constant, CO₂-neutral energy for 20 years.

The heat generated in the module can be converted into electricity, hydrogen or other forms of energy.

Thanks to its compact design, ADES fits into a standard shipping container and can therefore be used globally.

This makes ADES the ideal solution for a reliable and sustainable energy supply, regardless of time and place.

MAXIMUM SAFETY THROUGH INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

✓
Item 1

ON/OFF switch

ADES has a passive-safe ON/OFF control unit.

✓
Item 2

No chain reaction

ADES runs subcritically. When the injector impulses the thorium, it causes a reaction - but no critical chain reaction - making ADES much safer than coventional nuclear power plants. Zero explosion risk since there is no overpressure and no water/steam.

✓
Item 3

No traditional nuclear waste

80% of thorium is converted into energy. Even the remainder contains raw materials that can be reused. No final repository for nuclear waste is hence necessary. ADES produces 0% transuranic waste of Plutonium, Neptunium, Americium and Curium, ... known as "nuclear waste". It only produces radioactive fission products with short half-lives.

✓
Item 4

AI-powered optimization

ADES leverages AI to adjust its power output based on the installation location. ADES thereby ensures optimal performance in diverse environments.

✓
Item 5

Minimum maintenance

The final ADES module will not need to be serviced continuously. A Safety Security Environment Software will ensure safe control. No refueling required for 20 years.

HOW ADES WORKS

The technology in detail

Left Content

 

ADES (Accelerator Driven Energy Source) is a unique combination of molten salt technologies and particle accelerators. The innovative system uses a thorium-based anhydrous primary energy cycle and provides a safe, efficient and CO2-neutral energy source.

Here we explain how ADES works in detail:

Transmutation by particle accelerator

The injector is a particle accelerator that transmutes thorium-232 into uranium-233. This process initiates the generation of energy and ensures that the reaction is controlled and safe.

Energy release in the circuit

In the molten salt cycle, uranium-233 splits and releases enormous amounts of energy, reaching temperatures of up to 900°C in the process. This high temperature is essential for the subsequent energy conversion steps.

Efficient heat transfer

First and second level heat exchangers transfer the generated energy either to generate electricity or to produce hydrogen. This efficient heat transfer enables the energy generated to be used in a variety of ways.

Reliable electricity production

In the tertiary cycle, the transferred heat is used to drive a turbine to generate electricity. This process continuously supplies reliable and CO2-neutral electrical energy.

Sustainable hydrogen production

The high temperature of 750 to 900°C also enables the efficient production of hydrogen. This hydrogen can be used for various applications, from industrial production to energy supply.
