Factory built nuclear fission plants to power sustainable growth.
Ember, our first product, uses the same water-cooled reactor technology that powers 20% of American electricity today.
The future of energy
shouldn't ruin the view
As our demand for reliable power grows, so does our responsibility to produce it wisely. At Forge, we believe the best energy solutions don't ask more of the Earth than they have to. They deliver abundant, dependable power while preserving the landscapes, ecosystems, and communities they serve.
Progress isn't measured only by what we build. It's also measured by what we no longer need to disturb.
Turn the middle of nowhere
into the center of somewhere
The factory-built components for an Ember power plant are organized and arranged inside standard shipping containers, so they can travel the same highways and rail lines that move the rest of our nation's infrastructure. If a truck can get there, your power can get there too. And since the design of Ember doesn't depend on rivers, lakes, or other sensitive natural features, far more places become viable places to bring your project to life.

Built for scale
This pane carries the volume argument: Forge is building a production line, not a
one-off plant. Copy and artwork are still to be written — see
outline/04-produced-at-scale.md for the brief, the raw material
available in the copy deck, and the open questions.
Some assembly
required
Until now, building a nuclear power plant has meant building a one-of-a-kind megaproject on-site. Ember takes a different approach. By manufacturing reactors and balance of plant equipment in a controlled, factory environment, we improve quality, ensure uniformity and compatibility between components, reduce construction risk, shorten deployment timelines, and lower costs before a single module ever reaches its destination. That makes Ember modular.
Multiple Embers can be stacked with each other to meet your individual power demands. It's a smarter way to build and a faster way to bring clean, reliable power wherever and whenever it is needed.
If there's one thing
America has, it's star power
America invented commercial nuclear power, and it remains home to one of the world's deepest reservoirs of nuclear expertise, advanced manufacturing, and engineering talent. With decades of operating experience, a mature industrial base, and a renewed commitment to energy leadership, America is uniquely positioned to build the next generation of nuclear technology.
By designing and manufacturing Ember here at home, Forge strengthens domestic supply chains, creates skilled jobs, and helps secure American leadership in the technologies that will define the next century. The future isn't headed toward us from a foreign shore. It's already here. And with Ember, we have the power to build it.

The future we all
want is possible.
We believe abundant, reliable energy can improve lives without compromising the world future generations inherit. We believe industry can grow, communities can prosper, new technologies can come online, electricity can become more affordable, and carbon emissions can fall dramatically.
The future we see does not require humankind to lower our ambitions. It requires building clean energy infrastructure powerful enough to meet new and extraordinary demands, gentle enough to preserve our land and our water, and fast enough to matter.
Forge exists to help make the future possible. Not through untested promises, but through proven technology, disciplined engineering, and a new approach to manufacturing and deployment. All science. No fiction. The challenge is enormous but so is the potential of the future that is right in front of us.
