The DOE Fusion Energy Sciences program supports startup companies developing viable fusion pilot plant designs. Its near-term goals include preconceptual designs, technology roadmaps, and improved pilot-plant performance.
Projects span tokamaks, stellarators, inertial fusion energy devices, and alternate approaches. DOE uses Technology Investment Agreements with flexible, tailorable terms, including intellectual property terms. Projects undergo review after initial milestones before advancing.
DOE reports that four of the initial eight teams raised more than $1.2 billion in private funding, compared with an initial federal commitment of $46 million.
