LENRaries: A New Era of Clean Energy

With profiles of more than 100 entities actively engaged in R&D discovery, LENRaries explores the growing global movement of scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, engineers and academics working to realize the dream of developing clean and safe LENR technologies. Over 50 of these entities identify as commercial LENR Maker R&D companies having raised more than $250 million to develop low-carbon LENR technologies.

LENR technologies offer a potential energy source that does not pollute our skies, require costly and dangerous refueling, elaborate safety systems and containment structures, or exploit new lands that would be better left unspoiled for future generations.

As more LENR technologies become commercially viable, they have the promise of revolutionizing the $7 trillion global energy industry by enabling access to one-cent per kWh clean energy. Under-cutting fossil fuels prices would make it much easier to meet global sustainability goals while achieving unprecedented improvements in standards of living. Lowering carbon emissions into the atmosphere and the oceans is a win for our planet and human prosperity.

Published by Silicon Valley think tank the Anthropocene Institute, LENRaries discusses how far today’s LENR technologies have advanced since the days of “Cold Fusion”. In terms of power density and duration, many LENR Makers are edging closer to developing commercial-level devices. Popular applications for LENR technologies include nuclide transmutation of elements for the detoxification of radioactive waste and power generation to enable a future of abundance.

LENRaries report co-author and Anthropocene Institute clean energy analyst, Dr. Frank Ling, said “When we set out to identify and profile those actively engaged in LENR discovery, we thought there would be three to four dozen organizations, but the numbers far surpassed any of our expectations. In the US, Japan and EU alone, there are over 90 known entities engaged. That aside, there is active engagement in the field of LENR discovery by Russia, China and India.”

LENR discovery is attracting new attention from investors as a potential alternative clean energy source to confront climate change and energy scarcity. With so many independent reports of successful tests of LENR technologies, a growing cohort of researchers and scientists are optimistically declaring that they have an engineering pathway to commercial-level transmutation and power generation applications and products.

If LENR Makers are successful in their efforts to develop commercial-level technologies, it will be game changing for society. Our challenge will become determining how best to harness the inexpensive clean power derived from LENR technologies.

The challenge of harnessing LENR technologies to empower a future of abundance is analogous to how we are just beginning to scratch the surface in utilizing inexpensive processing power in order to enable big data, artificial intelligence and “smartphones” that will very soon run our lives from a single mobile device.
