The steady growth of electricity demand and plans to decarbonize the economy have given a significant boost to nuclear power plant construction in various countries.

Currently, according to IAEA data for 2025, the United States leads in installed nuclear power capacity, with 96.95 GW. France is second with 63 GW, and China is third with 55.32 GW [1]. However, China's plans for nuclear energy development are impressive: by 2040, the country intends to increase its nuclear power capacity to 200 GW [2], and by 2050, to 400-500 GW [3]. China is currently actively constructing 30 reactors. In April of this year, a plan was approved for the construction of 10 more new reactors, each costing $2.8 billion. This is a very low cost. The United States is also striving to rapidly increase its nuclear power plant capacity. On May 23, 2025, US President Donald Trump signed four executive orders aimed at reviving the country's nuclear energy sector. The orders set a goal of increasing US nuclear power capacity to 400 GW by 2050 [4]. Construction of ten new nuclear power plant units is planned to begin by 2030. However, the pace of nuclear power plant construction in the US lags significantly behind China in both timeframes and costs. According to a November 6, 2025, publication on eadaily.com, citing Bloomberg reporter Stephen Stapzynski, the third reactor at the Vogtle Nuclear Power Plant in the US took 10 years to build, costing $15,000 per kW of installed capacity. In China, a similar unit with installed capacity can be built for $2,500 per kW, six times cheaper, with local companies completing the project within five years [3].

It should be noted that the cost and construction timeframes apply only to units built in China, due to China's lack of experience in constructing nuclear power plants abroad. For example, the cost of Chinese nuclear power plants increases significantly when entering international markets. In 2022, the Chinese company CNNC was considering a project to build a 1.1 GW nuclear power unit abroad. The project cost was estimated at $8 billion [3]. In Russia, by comparison, the cost of building the Yuzhnaya NPP, consisting of two VVER-equipped nuclear power plant units, would be at least 480 billion rubles, at a rate of 180–200 million rubles per megawatt. Sergei Sasim, director of the HSE Center for Electric Power Research, told RBC TV South [5].

To what extent can new developments in the field of fuel-free power generation compete with nuclear power plant units?

While traditional energy sources—solar, wind, and nuclear—face physical and geopolitical limitations, an entirely new class of generation is emerging: neutrinovoltaics. This technology utilizes the interaction of invisible radiation—neutrinos, muons, the cosmic background, and the electromagnetic environment—with highly sensitive nanostructures of graphene and doped silicon to convert microvibrations into electric current. The technology was developed by the Neutrino Energy group, led by its president, Holger Thorsten Schubart.

The scientific foundation of neutrinovoltaics is based on three key global achievements:

2015 — Nobel Prize in Physics: The discovery of neutrino oscillations proved that neutrinos have mass.

2017 — CEvNS: Experimental confirmation of coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos by nuclei → real momentum transfer.

2025 — JUNO: Precise data on neutrino fluxes, spectra, and interactions.

These data allowed Holger Thorsten Schubart to develop the "Schubart Master Formula NEG," which mathematically describes energy conversion in nanomaterials:

Where P is the power, η is the energy absorption efficiency, Φ_{amb}(r,t) is the ambient flow, σ_{eff}(E) is the effective cross-section, and V is the volume of the nanomaterial.

This formula explains:

  • continuous operation 24/7/365,

  • power fluctuations less than 5%,

  • complete independence from sun, wind, and location,

  • high stability under all conditions.

The main advantage of neutrinovoltaic power generation is its ability to maintain a stable output. Traditional solar power plants cease generating power at night, and wind turbines sharply reduce output on windless days. In contrast, the power fluctuations of a neutrino-fuelless generator are typically less than 5% in practice. This non-critical deviation eliminates the need for large batteries.

Active efforts to implement neutrinovoltaic technology in densely populated countries such as India, South Korea, Japan, and China, which possess advanced technologies, are dramatically reducing production costs through automation and large-scale production, promising rapid adoption. For example, the cost of 1 kWh of energy generated by neutrinovoltaic technology is expected to reach 1.7-2.0 rubles in the next few years, thanks to the introduction of new industrial equipment and robotics, replacing manual labor, making it competitive in the market. This was made possible by the Neutrino Energy group's close collaboration with leading technology and manufacturing companies worldwide. Neutrino Energy is a leader in the development of neutrinovoltaic technology and mathematical modeling, while its partner companies provide large-scale production and support the industrial chain. Together, synergies are achieved, enabling superior results. "Given the pace of technological development, electricity costs are expected to decline further in the next few years," predicts Holger Thorsten Schubart in an interview with a leading industry media outlet.

The practical implementation is represented by the Neutrino Power Cube—a compact generator with a power output of 5–6 kW. The device utilizes approximately 1,500 m² of active graphene and silicon nanostructures.

Key features:

  • Power output: 5–6 kW;

  • 24/7 operation, approximately 8,700 hours per year;

  • No fuel, emissions, or noise;

  • Operability at temperatures from –40 to +60 °C;

  • Maximum efficiency at 10–35°C;

  • Completely decentralized operation.

Neutrino Power Cubes Fuel-Free Neutrinovoltaic Energy Sources

Facilities producing Neutrino Power Cubes, fuel-free generators with an output of 5-6 kW each, are expected to reach a production rate of 200,000 units per year within the first year of operation, with significant subsequent increases in production volume. The application of graphene and other bilayer monoatomic materials, which comprise the multilayer nanomaterial that converts the energy of neutrinos and other particles in invisible radiation fields, is based on existing semiconductor production lines. Preliminary calculations by Neutrino Energy Group partners indicate that the initial production cost of 1 kW of installed capacity will be approximately 120,000 rubles, significantly lower than, for example, any nuclear power plant unit in the world. Furthermore, Neutrino Power Cubes require virtually no operating costs during operation, unlike nuclear power plants, hydroelectric power plants, combined heat and power plants, and thermal power plants. As technology advances and production volumes of Neutrino Power Cubes increase, the cost will decrease. This will inevitably impact the existing plans of the vast majority of countries for the construction of small nuclear power plants and other generating facilities.

The synergy between the achievements of the Neutrino Energy group of companies and its partners allows for the creation of the world's most comprehensive neutrinovoltaic technology production chain. At every stage—from materials to equipment and application—the parties possess cutting-edge competencies. Mass production of high-quality graphene and doped silicon has been mastered, enabling competitive pricing for materials and equipment.

Neutrinovoltaic technologies will fundamentally transform the energy system, transforming it from centralized to decentralized and carbon-free. Every household, car, and building will become an energy generator, reducing dependence on large power plants. This will increase grid resilience and prevent large-scale outages during power outages. For example, during disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes, neutrinovoltaic modules will provide power to critical facilities. Holger Thorsten Schubart predicts that by 2050, neutrinovoltaic energy will account for 15% of global renewable energy. This will create a diversified clean energy system, including photovoltaic, wind, and hydropower. Electric vehicles will have in-vehicle neutrinovoltaic power sources.

By combining German mathematical modeling and international industrial production, a global ecosystem is being formed.

The technology enables:

  • Decentralized home power;

  • Integrate the system into transportation (Pi-Car, Pi-Catalyst);

  • Apply it to the maritime and aviation sectors;

  • Provide critical infrastructure during emergencies;

  • Power next-generation AI data centers.

Neutrinovoltaics complements solar and wind energy, creating the first continuous, weather-independent source of clean energy. It is thus a strategic path toward the global goal of carbon neutrality. Neutrinovoltaics is not just a new technology, but a new energy worldview based on verifiable physical principles, modern nanotechnology, and a precise mathematical model.

It paves the way to a world where energy is always, everywhere, and without limits. Holger Thorsten Schubart stated with hope that "significant progress has been made in establishing industrial production of neutrino energy sources for various purposes in Russia, and this will allow Russian partners not only to meet the country's needs but also to offer products to other countries. Russia's development of fuel-free neutrino power generation technology will allow Russia to maintain its leading position in the energy industry and will enable Russian exporters to strengthen their positions in international markets while avoiding the need to pay carbon taxes."
