Helion Energy

Develops commercial fusion energy generators

About Helion Energy

Helion Energy focuses on developing fusion generators to make fusion energy commercially viable. Their fusion generators are designed to be smaller, cheaper, and faster to produce compared to existing technologies. The company utilizes pulsed accelerator technology, which is essential for addressing the Helium-3 crisis, a critical element for modern computing and clean energy. Helion Energy's business model involves selling these fusion generators to industries and governments seeking sustainable energy solutions, while also securing funding from investors and government entities. What sets Helion apart from competitors is their unique combination of steady magnetic and inertial fusion techniques, which allows them to create fusion engines that are significantly more efficient in size, cost, and development time. The company's goal is to have a commercial fusion plant operational within six years, aiming to lead the future of clean energy.
