ACCELERATING THE TRANSITION TO A CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE

CROSS RIVER INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS


Cross River Infrastructure Partners is an early-stage developer of sustainable energy infrastructure.  

Our mission is to develop and deliver visionary infrastructure projects that converge energy, technology, and industry to create a more sustainable, efficient, and thriving world.

OUR FOCUS


CRIP is a nuclear project development company with significant new-build and extensive large project nuclear development and finance experience, and a network of collaborative strategic partners with long histories in the nuclear industry.

CRIP has had a long-running thesis that the world’s demand for economical, emissions-free, baseload electricity would dramatically increase and that advanced nuclear represents the most scalable and economic way to meet that sky-rocketing demand in the years to come. By harnessing the potential of advanced nuclear Small Modular Reactor behind-the-meter energy parks, we not only reduce carbon footprints but also foster economic growth, improve energy security, and create new opportunities for the communities we serve.

CRIP targets the deployment of multiple SMR units in the 100-300 MWe range for multi-tenant usage of both power and heat. Importantly, we also expect to produce meaningful quantities of life-saving medical isotopes as a valuable co-product from the advanced reactors increasing local population healthcare sovereignty and standards-of-living.

Green hydrogen via electrolysis represents an attractive, potentially very-large buyer of power from nuclear. Green hydrogen is ideally suited as an input to multiple clean fuels production and chemical synthesis processes, to create ultra-high temperature process heat for advanced manufacturing, or for metallurgical reduction (i.e. direct-reduction iron).  

As global mandates drive the switch from fossil to emissions-free fuels across the transportation and industrial sectors, demand for green hydrogen-based derivatives – such as methanol, Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), and ammonia – is already increasing and projected to be in supply deficit in the years to come.

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution requires an exponential increase in power usage. Estimates suggest current data center usage will increase from 3% of total US power consumption in 2023 to 9-12% by 2030. This staggering increase in electricity demand comes on top of the existing roll-out of Electric Vehicles and policy desires to electrify home heating and industrial processes.

Unlike crypto-currency, AI and cloud data center tenants are many of the largest companies on earth, and represent multi-decade tenants, significant increases in local tax bases, and major employment. Due to the sheer enormity of their power demands, these so-called “hyper-scale” data center tenants also have made major nuclear-related announcements in 2024, indicating a strong recognition of the major benefits of nuclear power.
