关于我们
Pacific Fusion was founded in 2023 with the mission to power the world with abundant, affordable, clean energy. We are rapidly designing and building a pulsed magnetic fusion system to achieve net facility gain (more fusion energy output than stored energy input). In parallel, we are developing the key components required to build affordable fusion systems. Our plans are ambitious. We have raised over $900M so far from incredible investors, resourcing us to deliver on these plans. We are bringing together the best scientists, engineers, and operators from the fusion community, hard tech industry, and other sectors. We are united by a shared sense of urgency to provide clean power for the world, particularly managing climate change while meeting growing global energy demand.

We are happy to announce our Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). Today, Pacific Fusion adds LLNL to our expansive network of collaborators to deliver net facility gain—when the fusion energy released surpasses the total energy stored in the system—and to be the first to high-yield fusion (100+ megajoules) on our Demonstration System. This collaboration enables a new era of applied fusion. You can read more here:?https://lnkd.in/g9qf73bg??

In order to provide clean and abundant energy to the world, we need to pump a lot of water and oil. Do you have experience designing and building huge fluid transport systems? #fusion #pulsedpower #processequipment #pumpitup #fluidsystem

I’m pleased to share a new manuscript on multi-dimensional electromagnetic simulations of idealized impedance-matched Marx generators (IMGs). IMGs eliminate internally reflected power and double the forward-going power efficiency of typical pulsed power-based fusion systems without requiring expensive ferromagnetic materials. IMGs enable Pacific Fusion’s Demonstration System, a net facility gain and high-yield (100+ megajoules) pulser, to be compact, and to have a relatively simple design. Advancing fusion technology is a highly collaborative effort, with Pacific Fusion ushering in a new era of precision pulsed magnetic science and technology. This manuscript was a collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Voss Scientific, and others.

Today, we are pleased to share that we have established a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with Sandia National Laboratories. Our collaboration aims to leverage our combined expertise and resources to advance pulsed magnetic fusion and high-yield fusion (100+ megajoules) capabilities. Together, we will develop cutting-edge pulser architectures and create initiatives to nurture a diverse and vibrant pulsed magnetic HED community. You can read more here: https://lnkd.in/gBcPdMYi.

I couldn’t share this earlier because we were in stealth… Earlier this month at American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics meeting, Pacific Fusion co-organized the first-ever mini conference on Pulsed Magnetic Fusion Energy. I want to recognize Alex Zylstra for leading the technical organizing committee for the event, and Fernando Garcia Rubio, Leland Ellison, Nathan Meezan, Samuel Langendorf, Anthony Link for giving great talks and posters! PF also hosted a post-conference happy hour with 160 attendees. Both the mini conference and happy hour were well-attended and very successful — there were lots of great conversations and, most importantly, a palpable buzz of excitement about the future! We certainly look forward to more opportunities to bring the community together and advance a path forward for fusion energy!

At Pacific Fusion, we are pursuing a pulsed magnetic path to inertial fusion. Earlier this year, our team collaborated with several other experts from the broader fusion community to co-author a paper to explain why we believe pulsed magnetic fusion is the most attractive path toward commercialization of fusion energy. The paper, "Opportunities in Pulsed Magnetic Fusion Energy", was posted in August, and you can read it here: https://lnkd.in/gqw834t3.

Clea Kolster, PhD, Clay Dumas, and the Lowercarbon Capital team have been incredible partners, always quickly zeroing in on the most important things and making us better. It’s a privilege to have them on our team.
Pacific Fusion, a Lowercarbon portfolio company based out of the Bay Area, just came out of stealth with $900M in funding to build a full-scale fusion power facility within a decade. As a chemical engineer and climate tech VC, I’ve seen many step changes in technology cost and performance that few expected. Harnessing the sun on Earth to generate an infinite source of clean power certainly tops the list! The Pacific Fusion team is building off multiple known technological breakthroughs to unlock commercial fusion power by the 2030s. These include:? -> The National Ignition Facility’s repeated demonstration of ignition through inertial confinement over the last 18+ months? -> Advancements in pulsed power engineering from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories -> High-fidelity fusion reaction simulations led by co-founder Leland Ellison -> The wealth of local Silicon Valley talent specialized in material science and mass manufacturing I am incredibly excited to be working with the fantastic team at Pacific Fusion, led by world-renowned scientist Dr. Eric Lander, Google X and ARPA-E technologist Will Regan, pulse power and inertial fusion expert Keith LeChien, and operations guru Carrie von Muench. You can read more about what these founders are building in their letter.

?? We’re thrilled to back Pacific Fusion in their bold mission to unlock the future of clean fusion energy! Led by renowned scientist Eric Lander, Pacific Fusion is on a path to make abundant, affordable, and clean energy a reality. Lander’s deep expertise— from successfully leading the Human Genome Project (!) to founding the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard — has brought together top minds from national labs like Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, alongside tech leaders from across the industry. Pacific Fusion’s unique approach in pulsed magnetic fusion is built on an idea that was a theory for decades but now has come within reach with most recent lab breakthroughs in 2022, and made a reality using compact, mass-manufacturable units with immense potential for scalability. With over $900M in funding secured from incredible partners like General Catalyst, Lowercarbon Capital, Lightspeed, and visionary investors like Elad Gil, Eric Schmidt, and John Doerr, we’re proud to support this ambitious vision to reshape global energy. This isn’t a short journey or a low hanging fruit by any measure, but it’s one that could redefine our energy landscape forever — tackling climate change and driving global prosperity. We're excited to partner with this outstanding team as they work toward a sustainable future. ??
