The latest Fusion Industry Association Global Fusion Industry Report highlights the strong tailwinds driving the global race to commercialize fusion energy, including the growing electricity demand from data centers and AI.
Key General Fusion milestones featured in the report include:
⚡Operating LM26, our large-scale MTF demonstration machine.
⚡ LM26 results that demonstrate meaningful plasma heating to electron temperatures of approximately 8.4 million degrees Celsius, or 0.72 keV, driven by the compression a plasma with a lithium liner.
⚡ A framework agreement with @ Renexia SPA to advance the commercial deployment of MTF technology in Italy.
⚡Ranking as the World’s Top GreenTech Company of 2026 by TIME.

🏆 ICYMI: Earlier this week, General Fusion was named the World’s Top GreenTech Company by @TIME and @StatistaCharts .
“Being named TIME’s top GreenTech company of 2026 is a testament to the incredible work of our team and a recognition of our innovative approach to transforming the world’s energy supply through fusion energy,” said Greg Twinney, Chief Executive Officer of General Fusion. “For more than 20 years, we have been building and proving our technology. That experience has led to LM26, our world-first Magnetized Target Fusion demonstration machine, now in operation. We’re on the path to industry-defining technical milestones to deliver practical fusion power in the next decade.”

General Fusion is focused on turning decades of innovation into commercially viable fusion power.
At a time when the world is facing unprecedented growth in electricity demand, we continue to advance toward a world powered by practical commercial fusion.
The opportunity is clear: deliver abundant, clean power at the scale required for the next generation of industry and infrastructure.

Join me at “Fusion Festˮ taking place on April 14th 2026, organised by Economist Impact: Igniting a new era of power and progress.
Fusion Energy has a great future. So had solar company Solyndra. And then it went bankrupt. What lessons are relevant for fusion now. Read my article in @forbes forbes.com/sites/walvanliero…

📣New announcement!
This peer-reviewed publication in Fusion Science & Technology dives into how we measure ion temperatures inside LM26—one of the most important indicators of plasma performance.
With 20+ years of experience developing diagnostics for our Magnetized Target Fusion, this publication demonstrates our measurement of ion temperature from neutron counting—just one of the many diagnostic tools that will validate plasma performance in LM26 as we move toward 1 keV and beyond.

General Fusion has reached an exciting new milestone on our path to becoming a public company!
We’ve publicly filed our Form F-4 with the SEC as part of our proposed business combination with Spring Valley Acquisition Corp. III (NASDAQ: SVAC), bringing us one step closer to becoming the first publicly traded pure‑play fusion energy company.
“We believe fusion is at an inflection point, and so is General Fusion. Our announcement today represents a key milestone toward closing the proposed business combination between General Fusion and SVAC—a transaction that we expect to put us on the best path to delivering commercial fusion energy in the next decade,” said General Fusion CEO Greg Twinney.

“If General Fusion can succeed, the future of energy won’t just be clean and abundant. It will be Canadian.”
We’re honoured to be recognized as one of Canada’s most ambitious companies & featured as a World Saver in @BetaKit's special issue out this week. 🇨🇦
There is a story we tell ourselves. It says great things aren’t possible here.
Forget that story. It’s time to tell a different one.
