Four big problems stand between fusion energy and commercial reality.
Our Magnetized Target Fusion commercial design aims to solve all four with one system: the liquid metal wall. It's our technology’s "secret sauce" with multiple key benefits:
🛡️ Protect the machine from d the fusion fuel we need for the life of a power plant, and to start up new machines
🔋 Simplify energy conversion, efficiently capturing heat to make steam and spin a turbine
💰 Make fusion economical
Our Chief Strategy Officer, Megan Wilson, breaks down why this innovation could be the key to practical fusion power.

Commercializing fusion power takes a strong supply chain.
Last week, General Fusion’s VP of External Relations, Grace Peach, joined industry leaders at BOTC 2026 in Knoxville for the New Nuclear Developments and Supplier Needs panel hosted by the Energy, Technology and Association.
Following LM26’s recent 1 keV milestone, Grace shared General Fusion’s progress toward commercial fusion energy, what’s next for our Magnetized Target Fusion technology, and the important role suppliers will play in bringing fusion power to the grid.
Our approach is designed with practicality in mind, leveraging established technologies and a strong supply chain to deliver fusion energy that is reliable and cost-competitive.
Thank you to the organizers and fellow panelists for the opportunity to connect and discuss the future of nuclear energy!

Canada’s energy future includes fusion.
Today, General Fusion shared that perspective with the House of Commons Standing Committee on Natural Resources as an invited witness in its study on Canada’s nuclear future.
For more than 20 years, we’ve been developing fusion da, with an engineering approach designed to deliver clean, reliable baseload power that is practical and cost-competitive.
Support from the federal and B.C. governments has been instrumental in advancing our technology, building a globally recognized company, and strengthening Canada’s domestic supply chain.
As demand for reliable energy grows, Canada has an opportunity to build on this foundation and lead in fusion research, manufacturing, and intellectual property development, while positioning itself at the forefront of the future of energy.

Fusion energy is a global effort, and earlier this month, our team took that conversation to Japan.
A highlight of the trip was touring the Kyoto Fusioneering facilities. In 2023, our two companies signed an MOU to develop the components a commercial fusion power plant will ycle
⚡ Liquid metal balance of plant
⚡ Power conversion cycle
Our visit was paired with STS Forum’s 2026 Annual Meeting in Kyoto, where our CEO Greg Twinney spoke on how fusion moves from the lab to the grid. Greg laid out why our practical Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF) approach is built to take on the toughest challenges along that path, sharing the stage with leaders from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, ITER Organization, Harvard University, and our partners at Kyoto Fusioneering.
We’re leaving Japan with stronger relationships, new ideas, and more momentum toward fusion on the grid. Thank you to everyone who hosted us!

We achieved a world-first! LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical low speed compression. This is a major step forward on General Fusion’s commercialization plan to deliver reliable, economical, clean power from fusion energy.
It’s truly an team. 1 keV, which is more than 12 million degrees Celsius, was our first major milestone for the LM26 program. We worked with UKAEA to design, install, and commission a gold-standard Thomson scattering system on LM26, giving us an accurate, robust measurement.
We also saw meaningful ion heating, and increased density and magnetic field from the compression – which tells us we’re where we want to be in terms of plasma stability and heating.
All together, the combined results provide further confidence in our core MTF technology principles.
Our CEO Greg Twinney dives into what we achieved, why it matters and what’s next here: generalfusion.com/post/1-kev-a-m…

General Fusion has achieved a world-first compressional plasma heating result with our large-scale Lawson Machine 26 ("LM26") demonstration, a key milestone on our path to commercialize fusion energy!
Using Magnetized Target Fusion ("MTF"), LM26 has reached electron temperatures exceeding 12 million degrees Celsius, more than 1 keV, measured with both Thomson scattering and absolute extreme ultraviolet ("AXUV") diagnostics, and accompanied by meaningful ion heating. LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical, low-speed compression. The result marks a major step forward on the Company’s plan to deliver reliable baseload, economical clean power from fusion energy.
Support from the Government of Canada has played an important role in advancing our technology over the past 20+ years. We’re grateful for that support as we celebrate this latest milestone and continue to advance fusion energy in Canada.
The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions, shared her perspective on what this achievement means:
“General Fusion's latest achievement underscores Canada's strength as a global leader in clean technology innovation. Advancing fusion energy from the laboratory toward commercial application will unlock significant economic opportunities, drive industrial growth, and support highly skilled jobs. This milestone highlights the value of supporting Canadian champions that are transforming bold ideas into solutions and will ensure Canada can lead and compete in emerging global energy markets.”

General Fusion has completed the first major technical milestone of its LM26 program with world-first fusion results co-authored by the UK Atomic Energy Authority.
We achieved electron temperatures of 1.1 keV (12.6 million degrees Celsius). The result was measured just prior to peak compression and is detailed in a technical paper co-authored by the @UKAEAofficial that is being concurrently posted on General Fusion’s website and submitted for peer review.
Our LM26 program was designed to reach key technical milestones on the path to a first-of-a-kind fusion plant in the next decade. LM26 is the first fusion machine in the world to achieve 1 keV with practical, low-speed compression.
“Achieving a plasma electron temperature of over 1 keV marks an important milestone for General Fusion since achieving hot electrons is a necessary step for proving fusion confinement concepts,” said Professor Dennis Whyte, Chief Executive Officer, UKAEA.
“This achievement reflects the tangible progress being made by General Fusion and others across a diverse set of fusion approaches in the private sector, while the collaboration with UKAEA, contributing its specialist expertise, highlights the value of robust public-private partnerships in broadly advancing fusion and sharing scientific results. It also continues a great tradition of international scientific collaboration: in 1969, a UK team used the then-new laser-based Thomson scattering technique to verify 1 keV electrons in a Russian tokamak, helping to establish what became the standard magnetic confinement concept. We now look forward to the outcome of the formal peer review process and the publication of the paper in Review of Scientific Instruments.”
Only a few fusion companies have surpassed the industry-recognized milestone of 1 keV, all using other fusion approaches. This world-first result for General Fusion’s MTF approach marks a measurable step forward for General Fusion in its aim to deliver baseload, economical clean power from fusion energy.

It was an honour to host the Consul General of Japan in Vancouver Yoshiaki Takahashi at our state-of-the-art labs at General Fusion.
Japan is a leading nation advancing fusion energy development, particularly in building the fusion supply chain through companies like a 2023 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Kyoto Fusioneering, we are working together to advance critical systems to commercialize Magnetized Target Fusion, such as the tritium fuel cycle. We look forward to working with the Consul General to explore future collaboration opportunities with Japan's fusion ecosystem.
Thank you for the visit, Consul General Takahashi!
