Company History
The essential requirement for capturing net energy across all approaches to fusion is high quality plasma confinement. TAE Technologies has developed a proprietary platform that we call an advanced beam-driven Field-Reversed Configuration (FRC), which combines accelerator physics and plasma physics to solve the challenge of confinement, both from a cost and performance perspective. Since our inception in 1998, we have been committed to pursuing a fuel cycle based on safe, plentiful hydrogen-boron, also known as proton-boron or p-B11, which avoids any environmental impact, particulate emissions and radioactivity. In addition, this fuel cycle maximizes the durability and lifetime of our plants. Our configuration can uniquely accommodate hydrogen-boron, and also operate on deuterium-helium-3 (D-He-3) and conventional deuterium-tritium (D-T) fuel.
Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
The company has raised over $750M in private funding from some of the world’s most sophisticated investors, including Google, NEA, Venrock, and Wellcome Trust, and the visionary family offices of Addison Fischer, Art Samberg, and Charles Schwab, among others. All of TAE’s funding has been dependent on articulating and achieving specific scientific goals. This “money by milestone” approach has kept us on time and on or under budget for 20 years. Our advisors are some of the most experienced and celebrated names in science and industry. Our independent Science Panel includes multiple Nobel and Maxwell Prize winners; our Board of Directors includes Jeffrey Immelt, former CEO, GE; John Mack, former CEO, Morgan Stanley; Richard Meserve, President Emeritus, Carnegie Institution for Science and Former Chairman of U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Ernest Moniz, former U.S. Secretary of Energy; and others. In addition, TAE Technologies enjoys broad support and assistance through a wide spectrum of collaborators comprised of National Laboratories, leading universities, and global industrial players.
