Nuclear Fusion and Climate Change: ‘We Need Every Technology We Can Get’

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.”

The Biological Theory That Explains Why Investors Are Bullish on Fusion

For a field that has existed for more than 60 years, a lot has happened in fusion research in the last half-decade. In fusion’s case, a trio of technological advances converged in the early 2010s to unleash a wave of innovation. “I think you see this beautiful inflection point in this field where the science maturity and technical capability come together,” said Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies.

The Frontrunners in the Trillion-Dollar Race for Limitless Fusion Power

With energy prices on the rise, along with demands for energy independence and an urgent need for carbon-free power, plans to walk away from nuclear energy are now being revised in Japan, South Korea, and even Germany. TAE’s approach, which involves creating a fusion reaction at incredibly high heat, has a key advantage.

Nuclear Fusion Powers the Sun and Stars. Here’s How We Can Generate It On Earth

The Sun’s surface is 15 million degrees Celsius, which is relatively balmy compared to the 75 million degrees Celsius that TAE Technologies recently generated in July. This temperature benchmark in the company’s current machine, named Norman, demonstrated “unmatched real-time control of plasma.”

TAE on Track for Billion-Degree Hydrogen-Boron Fusion by Early 2030s

Some fusion projects aim to create hundred-million degree working temperatures in magnetically confined plasma. The CEO of TAE Technologies tells us his team’s aiming for 10 times that temperature, targeting cheaper, easier and safer boron fuel.

TAE Technologies Exceeds Fusion Reactor Performance Goals By 250% As Company Closes $250 Million Financing Round, Totaling $1.2 Billion To Date

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 Announces Appointment of Chief Science Officer to International Union of Pure and Applied Physics

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.

TAE Technologies Partners with Japan’s Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) for Fusion Fuel Research

TAE Technologies, the world’s largest private fusion energy company, today announced a landmark partnership with Japan’s National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS) that enables the two organizations to test the effects of hydrogen-boron (p-B11) fusion reactions in the NIFS Large Helical Device (LHD). The results of this research have the potential to unlock a new milestone in TAE’s mission to develop commercial fusion power with p-B11, the cleanest and most affordable fuel for fusion cycles.

This week, TAE had the pleasure of joining the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for its inaugural World Fusion Energy Group meeting in Rome.

The WFEG is a global community of world leaders and private stakeholders working to accelerate the development and deployment of commercial #fusion power. This week’s event, attended by TAE Board Member Marco Arese and Elisabeth Siegel from our Policy & Global Affairs team, included dozens of countries that shared statements about their intent to support fusion energy research and commercialization.

TAE’s approach was a highlight of the meeting, as both UK Director General Lee McDonough with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, as well as Francesco Corvaro, the Italian Special Envoy for Climate, noted our progress toward commercial hydrogen-boron fusion power and the game-changing applications of our fusion research.

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.
