Nuclear fusion is the reaction that powers stars and scientists say replicating it on Earth could produce all the energy we’ll ever need without the CO2.
Growing investment and collaboration are making nuclear fusion more viable than ever.
Ahead of the cold winter weather, there is a rush on heating fuel in Ireland, where people are stockpiling turf logs — a uniquely Irish fuel that is made from dried-out bricks of peat cut from the country’s once extensive boglands.
Nuclear fusion is the primordial source of the sun’s energy. For decades, scientists have been trying to re-create it on Earth. Now they’re closer than ever to achieving it—and to unlocking a future of clean power for all.
Nuclear fusion might be one of the most valuable tools humans will develop to battle climate change—but will we all be underwater by the time it gets here? There is no question that the next few years are critical. “We know that we can do some impact positively with renewables, no question. But we also know that they can’t do 100 percent,” TAE Technologies CEO Michl Binderbauer told Newsweek. “What ideally happens is we maximize solar and wind as soon as we can in areas where it makes sense … And hopefully, very quickly, you’re ramping fusion.”
Goldman Sachs selected Binderbauer from multiple industries to be honored at the two-day event.
TAE was founded to commercialize a completely safe, sustainable, non-radioactive source of carbon-free energy, capable of meeting humanity’s growing energy needs without impacting the environment.
Following scientific milestones with current fusion reactor, Norman, TAE receives investments from long-term partner Google, as well as Chevron, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, and others to fund the construction of the company’s sixth-generation research reactor that will demonstrate the viability of net energy from TAE’s approach
TAE Technologies, the world’s leading developer of clean fusion, today announced a three-year partnership with the Natural Selection Tour (NST), uniting the two organizations in a shared commitment to sustainability and conserving the natural environment. NST is a world-class, one-of-its-kind snowboarding tournament showcasing riders competing on the planet’s most exciting natural(ly enhanced) terrain.

Advanced materials and additive manufacturing (AM) – also known as 3Dprinting – are some of the best tools in our toolbox to accelerate our progress toward commercial fusion power.
As TAE Project Engineer Vincent Pilard shared at this year’s Global AM Summit, our successful integration of AM has been key to solving fusion engineering challenges quickly and sustainably.
“The global energy demand is on course to double by 2050 – fusion is capable of sustaining the planet for thousands of years, safely delivering environmentally responsible baseload power,” Pilard presented at the NAMIC Singapore event. “Leveraging AM optimizes our capability to build components with complex geometries and develop engineering solutions with high-performance materials.”
No tricks over here, just a treat! The next installment in our “Fusion Future” poster series is now available!
This custom artwork takes inspiration from TAE’s vision for greener, fusion-powered communities. With access to hydrogen-boron fusion power plants, the world’s neighborhoods could thrive with increased electrification of transportation, homes, schools and businesses – as well as future-focused innovations like vertical farming for a climate-resilient local food supply.
As the world’s energy consumption continues to climb, we’re going to need an abundant, carbon-free, reliable power source to match that need. Fusion is the solution.
Another successful APS Division of Plasma Physics conference is in the books!
The TAE team headed to Atlanta this month to present 13 new posters and a contributed talk highlighting our advanced plasma performance and stability with optimized neutral beam injection; new diagnostic tools; and enhanced modeling frameworks.

The latest release in our “Fusion Future” poster series is here!
“The Path to Fusion Power” is inspired by TAE’s vision for compact, aneutronic fusion power plants fueled with hydrogen-boron.
Hydrogen-boron is the safest possible fuel for fusion, with zero carbon emissions, no long-lived radioactive waste, and more than 100,000 years of supply accessible all around the world.
Using this approach, TAE Fusion Power energy plants would be safe enough to be placed even in the middle of a bustling city – no high-voltage transmission lines, deep mining, or miles of acreage required
TAE had the pleasure of hosting the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at our California headquarters.
Thank you to Harriet Kung, the Acting Director of the Office of Science, and JP Allain, the DOE’s Associate Director for Fusion Energy Sciences, for joining us on a tour of our 5th-generation fusion research reactor and our TAE Power Solutions lab!
TAE CEO Michl Binderbauer; Chief Science Officer Dr. Toshiki Tajima; VP of Fusion Energy Erik Trask; TAE Power Solutions CEO Kedar Munipella; UC Irvine Vice Chancellor Pramod Khargonekar; and University of California Vice President for Research & Innovation Theresa Maldonado joined these DOE leaders to discuss TAE’s clean energy ecosystem.
We’re developing a clean, safe, economical approach to commercial fusion power, and our TAE Power Solutions team creates the technology our world needs to advance more efficient EVs and battery energy storage systems.
