Solving climate change with low cost, mass produced nuclear power

Jake Jurewicz is the co-founder and CEO of Blue Energy, which is leveraging manufacturing techniques from offshore oil and wind to reduce the overnight capital cost for nuclear power from >$10k/kW to <$3/kW and the deployment time from >10 years to 2 years. Jake has over 10 years of experience building, investing in, and advising companies in the energy, climate, security, and construction sectors. He previously co-founded Entropy Power, a developer of behind-the-meter co-located industrial loads at wholesale generators and served on the corporate strategy team at Exelon Corporation, leading projects in R&D, strategic planning, and venture capital. Jake holds a Masters in Nuclear Science & Engineering as well as a dual bachelors in physics and nuclear science & engineering from MIT.

Jake will share his career journey from MIT's physics department to founding Blue Energy, and how 1st principles thinking from the sciences helped him become a better entrepreneur. Blue Energy deploys small modular nuclear power plants to inexpensively, quickly, and safely expand capacity at existing nuclear sites and brownfield industrial ports. They are reducing the cost for nuclear power from >$15k/kW to <$3k/kW and the deployment time from >10 years to 2 years by leveraging pre-certified light water reactors and centralized manufacturing techniques from offshore oil and wind that puts nuclear on a learning curve akin to wind, solar, and batteries.
