About

Helion is developing a fusion power plant designed to deliver clean, reliable, and abundant electricity to the grid. Their approach uses magnets to accelerate and merge particles, releasing energy that is converted into usable electricity. Fusion fuel is drawn from water and fusion reactions themselves, producing no long-lived radioactive waste and no runaway chain reactions.

Problem

The world needs a source of clean, abundant, and always-on electricity that doesn't rely on fossil fuels, scarce resources, or weather conditions.

For

energy grid operators and utilities seeking clean, reliable power sources

How it works

Magnets accelerate particles toward each other, fusion occurs releasing energy, and that energy is converted into usable electricity delivered to the grid.
