General Fusion

We couldn't have said it better ourselves. The trajectory is clear: Fusion is a technology being built now! Find the latest updates from fusion companies across the globe in the fifth annual Fusion Industry Association Global Fusion Industry report: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/exMY98MG

Thank you, COMSOL, Inc., for featuring our team's leading-edge simulation work!

"Several private companies have joined the fusion race. One of the most advanced projects is from the Canadian firm General Fusion, which is based near Vancouver in British Columbia."      We’re featured in Scientific American this month, and our Chief Strategy Officer, Megan Wilson, shares more about our unique technology, designed to overcome the known challenges of commercializing fusion: "MTF is the fusion equivalent of a diesel engine: practical, durable and cost-effective."

The team behind the progress! 🏆 Operating a large-scale fusion machine takes deep experience, precision, and tenacity. Our incredible team of physicists, engineers, and technicians are doing ground-breaking work every day to drive us toward a more sustainable future powered by #fusionenergy.  Congratulations, all, on the exceptional effort this week and excellent early results from another successful plasma compression with LM26. #CanadianInnovation

📢 Major update: Our plasma compression program keeps advancing! Yesterday, our team successfully compressed another large-scale plasma in our world-first fusion demonstration machine, LM26. This shot incorporated: ✔️ More power for deeper compression ✔️ Optimized plasma with lithium coating ✔️ Machined liner for better compression ✔️ Increased shaft current Watch Magnetized Target Fusion in action! 🌟 #fusionenergy

"The prize for what we are doing is huge, not just financially, but from an impact perspective. There may be nothing on the planet more impactful than us commercializing fusion and putting virtually limitless clean energy on the grid around the world."   Our CEO, Greg Twinney, recently spoke with BMO's senior climate advisor, Jayen Veerapen, P.Eng., MBA, for the Sustainability Leaders podcast.

“If General Fusion can succeed, the future of energy won’t just be clean and abundant. It will be Canadian.”    We’re honoured to be recognized as one of Canada’s most ambitious companies and featured as a World Saver working to solve the future of humanity in BetaKit’s special issue out this week: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/euRHgDGa   BetaKit is right – we can do bold things. At our Richmond labs, we operate one of the world’s only large-scale fusion demonstration machines and are tracking toward industry-defining milestones. This is Canada’s fusion future – and we are building it with an exceptional team of physicists and engineers and equally bold specialty manufacturers, suppliers, and academic partners from across the country.    Thank you, BetaKit, for the feature!

Our trailblazing work in multiphysics modeling and simulation for MTF machines will be presented next month at ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers)'s 2025 Pressure Vessels and Piping Conference in Montreal. Simulation helps bridge the physical and virtual worlds—validating what our models tell us about how the machine will perform with the results from the lab. During our Prototype 0 (P0) test campaign for LM26, we compressed 40 lithium cylinders, allowing our modeling team to confirm the methodology and tools needed to precisely simulate the dynamics of our full-scale LM26 machine, which is four times larger than the P0 testbed. Today, this work enables us to predict how LM26 will perform as we progress toward our transformative targets of 1 keV, 10 keV, and ultimately, 100% Lawson with our world-first machine.

This week, we are plasma tuning to prepare for our next compression shot! In this process, we repeatably form plasmas in LM26 to optimize performance. After just four months of operation, LM26 is consistently creating high-quality plasmas with the lifetimes we need to achieve our next milestone: 1 keV.
