Commonwealth Fusion Systems

View

Commonwealth Fusion Systems focuses on developing fusion energy as a clean and sustainable power source. The company utilizes advanced magnet technology, created in partnership with MIT, to build smaller and more affordable fusion systems called tokamaks. These devices use magnetic fields to confine plasma, making them an efficient method for achieving fusion. Currently, CFS is manufacturing high-temperature superconducting magnets and constructing SPARC, which aims to be the first commercially viable net energy fusion machine. The success of SPARC will lead to the development of ARC, the first fusion power plant. CFS differentiates itself from competitors by its commitment to scientific integrity and a mission-driven approach, aiming to provide cost-competitive fusion energy to help combat climate change.
