We are sharing our vision for Clean Energy. Everywhere. Forever.
We are pursuing the fastest, most practical path to bringing fusion energy to market using Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) technology.
Today’s economic, social, and political trends increase the demand for fusion energy. We’re on track to deliver zero-carbon energy to the grid by the early to mid-2030s with our proprietary technology.
General Fusion’s technology solves engineering challenges facing commercial fusion practically and cost-effectively. Dr. Michel Laberge, founder and Chief Science Officer, explains how we successfully overcome these challenges using our approach.
We are fast tracking our technical progress to provide commercial fusion energy to the grid by the 2030s by building a new MTF fusion machine in Richmond, British Columbia. Called Lawson Machine 26 – LM26 – the machine is designed to achieve fusion conditions of over 100 million degrees Celsius by 2025, with a goal of achieving scientific breakeven equivalent by 2026.
To commercialize our technology, General Fusion is fast-tracking results with our LM26 program, designed to achieve transformative technical milestones: fusion conditions of over 100 million degrees Celsius (10 keV) by 2025 and scientific breakeven equivalent by 2026.
Two forces are shaping the future of energy. Demand for electricity is increasing while targets for carbon emission reductions are becoming more aggressive. We have put talent and technology together to supply affordable access to energy in concert with economic and social realities.
Agile and reliable, fusion power is expected to make better use of land and offer energy independence to all countries, regardless of geography.
Fusion is on course to produce the electricity needed to power homes, businesses, and industry in the 2030s.
The climate data is in. Urgent action is needed. Join us to make the change the world needs. At General Fusion, we’re making the future, creating power-plant-relevant scale fusion technology to transform how we energize the world — today.
In 2002, our founder, renowned Canadian physicist Dr. Michel Laberge, set out to develop a commercially viable approach to fusion energy. From the beginning, we’ve focused on creating a practical energy solution to meet the urgent need for carbon-free electricity.
Fusion energy promises to fundamentally transform the energy landscape as we know it.
Dispatchable, with no emissions, it will play a significant role in the clean energy future.
Our approach enables us to unlock significant milestones in the near term while effectively reducing the technical leap between our next near commercial machine and a fully operational commercial pilot plant. This approach brings us closer to our ultimate goal of providing clean and sustainable fusion power to the world.
Our mission is supported by a global syndicate of leading institutional investors, venture capital firms, and technology pioneers, together with governments across North America and Europe.
Today’s ongoing reliance on fossil fuels further magnifies the net-zero challenge. A member of the prestigious 2022 Global Cleantech 100, General Fusion is recognized internationally as a leader in the transition to deep decarbonization. Our fusion energy technology helps to move governments and industry from commitments to action in the race to low carbon economies.
Recent advances in plasma physics as well as enabling technologies, such as supercomputing and high-speed digital controls, allow us to pursue an aggressive commercialization strategy.
The year 2050 will not be the finish line in the fight against climate change. By 2050 there will likely be a billion more people on this planet, all of whom will need energy to live and work. Our priority is finding a practical way to deliver this additional energy demand in a carbon-free manner while simultaneously decarbonizing our current energy production.
