Commonwealth Fusion Systems
Overview
Decades of worldwide, government-sponsored research in fusion science have established the tokamak-based configuration as the highest performing approach to fusion. Yet in the past, tokamaks had to be enormous in size to produce net energy from fusion. CFS is using revolutionary high temperature superconducting magnets developed in collaboration with MIT to build smaller and lower-cost tokamak fusion systems. CFS is manufacturing these magnets and building the world’s first commercially-relevant net energy fusion machine, called SPARC. SPARC will pave the way for the world’s first fusion power plant, called ARC. CFS has assembled a world-class team working to design, build, and scale fusion power plants that will deliver cost competitive, clean fusion energy to combat climate change.
It’s incredibly humbling working with this talented and mission-driven team focused on combating climate change and improving lives through access to clean, abundant energy.
