## Summary

At New York Climate Week Nvidia highlighted five companies that embed its AI technology in clean‑energy projects. ThinkLabs uses NVIDIA CUDA‑based digital twins and agents to cut the time needed to evaluate grid interconnection applications from 30‑45 days to two minutes, aiming to improve reliability and affordability. Founder and CEO Josh Wong said the approach makes utility actions risk‑informed.

Atomic Canyon, another Nvidia Inception member, offers the Neutron workbench and the NIVA virtual assistant, turning procedures, regulatory guidance and operational data into an AI‑driven knowledge layer for nuclear plant operators. Redwood Materials builds off‑grid power systems for AI data centers using 100%‑recycled EV batteries and an AI layer on the Nvidia Blackwell platform, reducing transformer and inverter needs and lowering power costs. TerraPower connects an Nvidia Omniverse‑powered digital‑twin platform to its Natrium reactor to shorten siting and delivery from years to months, while Commonwealth Fusion Systems uses Nvidia Omniverse libraries and OpenUSD to compress fusion‑experiment cycles from years to weeks for its SPARC tokamak, claiming a 40x smaller design.

## Key points

- ThinkLabs cut interconnection evaluation from 30‑45 days to two minutes with Nvidia‑powered agent
- Atomic Canyon’s Neutron and NIVA turn nuclear data into an AI knowledge layer for operators
- Redwood Materials powers AI factories with 100%‑recycled EV batteries and Nvidia Blackwell AI

## Why it matters

Demonstrating how Nvidia AI can speed grid integration, nuclear operations and off‑grid power helps lower clean‑energy costs and accelerates deployment of low‑carbon infrastructure.
