About Us:
Pacific Fusion is developing affordable fusion power on Earth that is inspired by the stars. Since 2000 the world’s energy consumption has increased by 50% and continues to grow year on year, but over 80% of that energy still comes from fossil fuels. Fusion has the potential to provide power that is safe, unlimited, and scalable.
The science and engineering required to enable fusion on Earth won’t be easy. Fusion has been researched for over 50 years and Lawrence Livermore National Lab is the only organization to ever achieve ignition - producing more energy than was input. Pacific Fusion’s core founding team were some of those scientists and engineers who achieved ignition, and are now working to commercialize fusion power.
