Our Vision
To lead the transition to clean low-carbon energy through our pioneering BLUE ENERGY TECHNOLOGY™, creating a more stable and resilient electrical grid, slashing carbon footprints of electrical generation, plants, and industrial facilities bringing greater health, equity, and opportunity to rural and underserved communities.
Our Mission
To make a fundamental and pivotal contribution to the global energy transition. We will help civilization through the most important transition since the invention of agriculture by making a significant reduction in global CO2 emissions, near zero emissions from fossil fuels.
We develop and research everyday use of Oxygen-Fuel Combustion.
Jupiter Oxygen is a recognized leader in the development, application, and use of oxy-fuel technology worldwide. Jupiter’s expertise lies in its continued research, development, and everyday use of oxy-fuel combustion. Experimenting and developing the patented oxy-fuel process began in the mid-1990’s as a way to cut fuel costs and lower emissions at an aluminum recycling and manufacturing business in addition to being a patent licensee. Jupiter’s technology has been in use at the aluminum plant since 1997 and is now emerging as the most promising environmental control technology for use in both coal and gas fired electric power plants.
What We Do
Jupiter Oxygen Corporation has developed technologies that enhance the energy efficiency of industrial processes by way of cost-effective carbon capture from fossil fuel power plants. Jupiter Oxygen has worked for over a decade with experts from the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) of the US Department of Energy (US DOE) to develop clean fossil energy solutions, with a focus on retrofitting existing coal-fired power plants. Jupiter’s high flame temperature oxy-combustion technology, combined with the NETL's Integrated Pollutant Removal™ system, enables the capture of 97+% of CO₂, as well as the significant reduction of key pollutants such as NOx, SOx, mercury and particulate matter (PM). Jupiter Oxygen Corporation holds and maintains patent rights to this joint clean technology development. Jupiter’s unique solution will be a critical part of strategic alliances for the financing and management of successful carbon capture and utilization projects.
Executive Leadership
Jupiter Oxygen's executive management team has years of experience and expertise with the Jupiter Oxy-Fuel process for manufacturing and power plant development.
Paul-Henri Chevalier became CEO of Jupiter Oxygen Corporation in 2021 and oversees the company’s push to commercialization on behalf of Jupiter’s founder. Building purpose-driven teams and developing those teams’ members has been Mr. Chevalier’s passion for decades—viewing healthy organizations as landscapes that offer adventure, purpose, and personal growth.
Prior to joining the Jupiter family of companies in 2003, Mr. Chevalier worked in a management consulting practice in Europe, leading various worldwide assignments in the medical device and aerospace fields. Before that, in the mid-1990s, he led marketing activities for several prominent consumer goods companies in Europe, Asia and the Middle-East.
Mr. Chevalier is an experienced executive, who has guided Jupiter Oxygen’s sister company, Jupiter Aluminum Corporation, since 2010 as president and 2019 as CEO. Jupiter Aluminum Corporation—one of the cleanest secondary aluminum producers in the world thanks to our oxy-combustion technology—operates six plants worldwide, three in the United States and three in Europe. Jupiter Aluminum produces a total of 160,000 tons of aluminum sheets per year, almost exclusively from aluminum scrap.

Our History
In 1997, Jupiter's technology moved from invention to daily use in large industrial melting furnaces. Since 2001, Jupiter has taken its technology from industrial furnaces to fossil fuel steam boilers and electric power plant test applications. In 2002, the company tested its oxy-fuel technology in a steam boiler using oxygen instead of air and tried something new: firing with both natural gas and coal. These successful trials were followed by additional testing in 2004 proving that it is both practical and cost effective to capture CO₂. These tests were done in cooperation with the US Department of Energy (US DOE) and its National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). In 2004, Jupiter Oxygen's technology was also certified by Canada's Environmental Technology Verification Program.
Throughout its history, Jupiter Oxygen's goal for its patented oxy-fuel technology has been to prove that CO₂ can be effectively and economically captured whilst improving boiler energy efficiency and therefore saving fuel. The 2004 tests were coordinated with the US Department of Energy (US DOE) and exemplified that theclean coal technology based on Jupiter's patented high flame temperature oxy-fuel combustion process, combined with the NETL's Integrated Pollutant Removal system, is the path to a cost-effective, clean coal future for both retrofits and new electric power plants.
From 2006 until 2012, Jupiter Oxygen has operated a 15 MWthermal oxy-combustion test facility in Hammond, Indiana (Jupiter Oxygen’s 3rd generation oxy-fuel development unit). The unit and testing has been supported through federal funding and was conducted with the DOE’s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). Parametric studies performed at the facility demonstrated the feasibility of Jupiter Oxygen's high flame temperature oxy-combustion technology for boiler firing and generated technical data necessary for scale-up and optimization. In addition, the test facility provided a platform for high flame temperature burner development.
The Hammond Test Facility produced a series of significant accomplishments. Based on the outcome of tests and developments at the Hammond Test Facility, the DOE has deemed Jupiter Oxygen's high flame temperature oxy-combustion and carbon capture technologies ready for a commercial scale demonstration. Empirical test results and modeling studies show that 97+% CO₂ recovery can be achieved with a net energy penalty of approximately 20% for oxygen generation and CO₂ capture if there is an external source of electricity to power the capture system during boiler start-up and shutdown. Without the capture system fully operating during boiler start-up and shut-down, the overall CO₂ capture rate falls to 95%.
Jupiter Oxygen Corporation, together with the NETL, operated the Hammond Test Facility between 2006 and 2012 with both internal and Department of Energy sponsorship. Through careful experimental work at the facility, the performance and practicality of the Jupiter high flame temperature process combined with CO₂ capture proved to have favorable results. In 2011, Jupiter Oxygen was granted a patent on the jointly developed carbon capture technology. In September 2012, NETL of the Department of Energy granted Jupiter Oxygen a technology readiness level No. 6 (TRL-6), demonstrating that the technology is ready for full commercial scale demonstration.
