Steady Energy’s Heat-Only Nuclear Solution Named Among Forbes’ 7 Big Ideas for 2025

Steady Energy has been featured in Forbes’ influential year-ahead outlook as one of the seven transformative ideas shaping 2025. The article, focusing on groundbreaking solutions from housing to climate action, highlights Steady Energy’s pioneering approach to heat-only nuclear reactors as a key innovation in the clean energy transition.

Forbes recognizes Steady Energy’s unique market position and early commercial success, noting that the company “is pioneering heat-only nuclear reactors, designed to replace fossil fuels used to generate heat in homes, for clean water supply by (i.e. desalination plants), and in industries." The article emphasizes the cost-effectiveness of the solution compared to alternatives.

The publication specifically highlights Steady Energy’s impressive commercial traction, mentioning that the company “has already secured its first two contracts and reportedly has a sales pipeline valued at $1.5 billion.” This recognition comes in the context of Forbes' analysis of nuclear power's resurgence as a clean energy solution, alongside a growing global commitment to triple nuclear capacity by 2050.

The article places Steady Energy's innovation in the critical context of industrial decarbonization, noting that “direct carbon emissions from the manufacturing sector—driven mainly by the burning of fossil fuels to generate heat—account for approximately 25% of global emissions, according to the International Energy Agency.” This underscores the significant market opportunity and environmental impact potential of Steady Energy's technology.

This Forbes feature positions Steady Energy at the forefront of practical climate solutions for 2025, alongside other transformative ideas in areas such as housing innovation, creative economies, and global cooperation.
