ZeroPoint Advisors moves projects from early screening to permitted, financed, and construction-ready — bridging technical, commercial, and regulatory execution across CCS, geothermal, and energy infrastructure.
The energy transition is creating the largest infrastructure build-out in a generation. CCS, geothermal, clean power, and industrial decarbonization projects all face the same challenge: bridging the gap between technical feasibility and bankable execution.
ZeroPoint Advisors was founded by project developers — not consultants. We bring direct experience in subsurface evaluation, commercial origination, and regulatory permitting to move projects from screening to construction-ready.
We don't just advise — we develop. Our team integrates subsurface, commercial, and regulatory disciplines to move projects through every phase of development.
End-to-end development of CCS, geothermal, and waste-to-energy projects from concept through construction-readiness — including feasibility, FID support, and execution planning.
Basin-level screening, stratigraphic analysis, reservoir and seal evaluation, and containment strategy to identify and de-risk storage and geothermal sites across U.S. basins.
Long-term CO₂ sequestration agreements, offtake origination, JV structuring, and project finance strategy to secure committed supply and capital for large-scale infrastructure.
UIC Class I, Class II, and Class VI permitting strategy, EPA and state regulatory navigation, and compliance planning to advance projects through the permitting pipeline.
Cross-sector development at the intersection of CCS, power generation, data center infrastructure, and geothermal — delivering integrated solutions for complex energy transition challenges.
Strategic advisory for hyperscalers and data center developers seeking behind-the-meter clean power, carbon management, and low-carbon site development strategies.
Our team has led the development, permitting, and commercialization of real infrastructure projects — not just advised on them.
Our principals have directly developed CCS storage platforms, secured pore space, negotiated long-term sequestration agreements, and advanced Class VI permits at the operator level.
We integrate geoscience, commercial origination, and regulatory strategy under one team — eliminating the gaps between technical feasibility and investment decision.
Deep experience across UIC Class I, II, and VI permitting with EPA and state regulators. We understand the process from application design through approval.
We operate at the convergence of CCS, power, geothermal, and data center infrastructure — identifying integrated opportunities others miss.
No junior handoffs. Our principals lead every engagement directly, bringing decades of project development, negotiations, and energy sector leadership to each assignment.
We measure success by projects that reach FID and construction — not by reports delivered. Every engagement targets a clear path from screening to execution-ready.
