List of nuclear fusion companies

Last updated

Commercial fusion is a term used to refer to privately or publicly held companies which aim to sell products (e.g., isotopes) or services (e.g., electricity) produced by nuclear fusion. Reactor-scale nuclear fusion has exceeded scientific break-even, [1] opening the way for commercial reactor development. [2] Forecasts and studies of fusion reactor-generated electricity costs range from high, [3] [4] to very low, down to one cent per kilowatt-hour, [5] rivaling some low-cost forecasts for solar power photovoltaic systems. [6] [7]

As of 2026, the Fusion Industry Association reports that combined cumulative, aggregate, historic total investment in fusion technology has exceeded $14.2 billion. [11] : 9 

Commercial fusion companies

Companies pursue various different fusion methods and geometries for reactors. Some pursue one method, such as magnetic , inertial , or electrostatic confinement. Some pursue hybrid methods such as magneto–inertial or magneto–electrostatic confinement. [16] More methods exist, many of which are listed in the table below. These varied methods can influence strongly many reactor and balance of plant considerations and systems. [17]

The company was founded in 2019 and developed a working fusion device in 2021 based on this approach. In October 2021 the company determined through the experimentation work completed and detailed 'particle in cell' modelling of loss mechanisms that the reactor would not scale as initially anticipated (and therefore could not be developed to deliver a net gain fusion reactor). The company is currently exploring the use of this technology they developed in hydrogen isotope separation as part of the fusion fuel cycle.
