Founders
Critical Energy is a clean energy hardware startup building factory-made, containerized modular power plants that convert thermal energy into electricity using custom turbomachinery and a closed-loop working fluid cycle. Founded by former SpaceX engineer Spencer Jackson, the company targets geothermal and waste heat applications, shipping systems in standard containers that install in weeks rather than years. Its mission is to dramatically lower the cost, complexity, and timeline of geothermal energy deployment, with an ambitious target of 300 GW per year by 2045.
