Nature Resources, LLC (Natura), a leader in molten salt reactor (LF-MSR) technology, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Texas Tech University’s Texas Produced Water Consortium (TxPWC).\nThis partnership, known as “Fortifying the Future,” seeks to deploy Natura’s LF-MSR technology in the Permian Basin to provide additional power and water crucial to Texas. <\/p>\n\n
Doug Robison, founder and president of Natura Resources, expressed his enthusiasm: “We are proud to partner with the Texas Produced Water Consortium to strengthen Texas’ energy and water future.\nNatura has deep roots in the oil and gas oil and gas<\/a><\/strong> in the Permian Basin, and this opportunity is key to our energy and water solutions.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n The partnership includes the upcoming issuance of the construction permit in September to deploy Natura’s first LF-MSR reactor at Abilene Christian University.\nThis action underscores Natura’s commitment to the rapid development of its technology to meet critical national needs. <\/p>\n\n Rusty Smith, executive director of the TPWC, noted, “This partnership demonstrates the potential to generate electricity and manage water in a state with growing future resource demands<\/em>. It is crucial for Texas, fueled by national and global economic success.<\/em><\/p>\n\n The TPWC, established by the Texas Legislature in 2021<\/a><\/strong>leads produced water research in the state, exploring its use beyond the oil and gas industry.\nIts mission includes guiding policies for environmentally and economically viable use of treated water. <\/p>\n\n The economic viability of water treatment depends on affordable and reliable power.\nNatura’s molten salt reactor offers the promise of expanding these capabilities to remote areas of Texas, strengthening both the state’s economy and electrical infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n Lawrence Schovanec, president of Texas Tech University, emphasized, “This partnership underscores our commitment to impactful research and efficient management of state resources, addressing critical energy and water challenges.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n Follow us on social networks and don’t miss any of our publications!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n YouTube<\/a> LinkedIn<\/a> Facebook<\/a> Instagram<\/a> X<\/a><\/p>\n\nWater and energy efficient solutions in Texas<\/h2>\n\n
