Why We Exist
At our core, we exist to unlock human potential through energy innovation. We're driven by the belief that abundant, affordable power is fundamental to progress, and every project we undertake advances this mission.
Where We’re Going
We're laying the groundwork for industry's energy evolution. Through strategic partnerships and deep expertise, we're helping businesses navigate the transition to advanced nuclear technologies and other energy dense solutions
Fire2Fission was born from a simple observation in the oil fields: industry needs better power solutions. While managing frac operations in New Mexico, our team undertook a comprehensive analysis of power alternatives—from solar panels and wind turbines to geothermal wells and traditional fuels. The results were clear: dual fuel engines and advanced nuclear technologies held the key to industry's energy future. This insight transformed our perspective on industrial power generation. Years of hands-on experience had shown us the tremendous value of traditional energy sources, but it also revealed the potential for something more efficient.
Today, we're building on that vision, developing strategic natural gas solutions that address immediate power needs while simultaneously advancing the integration of advanced nuclear technologies. True to our name, we're working to bridge the gap between traditional and future power generation—from fire to fission.
