Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, Czero is a mid-sized engineering services and contract R&D firm focused on energy technologies. It serves national labs, universities, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, and commercial clients such as startups, helping turn innovative ideas into workable solutions. With about 19 years in operation, its engineers bring decades of experience and in-house capabilities—machine shop, fabrication facility, controls panel build shop, and test lab—that support moving concepts toward prototypes. The firm has completed more than 450 projects across energy-related areas, including powertrain concepts, energy storage, renewables, carbon capture, and upstream oil and gas. A notable recent development is a 2020 partnership with Nexceris and Brayton Energy to design a 100 kW-scale power system that combines a solid oxide fuel cell with a gas turbine.
