U.S.-India Partnership for Fusion Energy Commercialization
Kronos Fusion Energy Announces Strategic U.S.-India Partnership to Revolutionize Global Fusion Energy Commercialization
Washington, D.C., September 25, 2024 – Kronos Fusion Energy, a pioneering leader in aneutronic fusion technology, proudly announces a landmark partnership with 11 major Indian companies to scale the commercialization of fusion energy. This strategic collaboration, unveiled during high-level U.S.-India bilateral discussions in Washington, D.C., will drive the production of over 100 fusion energy generators annually, beginning in 2035. The partnership marks a critical leap forward in delivering clean, limitless power on a global scale.
As global energy demands rise and the need for sustainable solutions becomes urgent, fusion energy is poised to be the cornerstone of the world’s energy future. Unlike traditional nuclear energy, fusion offers a path to safe, abundant, and clean energy without the drawbacks of radioactive waste or nuclear weaponization risks. With over 20,000 engineers and 800 scientists, Kronos Fusion Energy is leading the charge, and this U.S.-India partnership provides the necessary momentum to meet their ambitious goal of producing 100+ fusion energy generators per year, starting in 2035.
“Fusion energy is the only truly scalable and safe energy solution that can meet humanity’s growing needs without compromising the health of our planet,” said Priyanca Iyengar Ford, Founder & Executive Board Member of Kronos Fusion Energy. “If your fusion energy generator produces neutrons, you’re creating a nuclear byproduct that is not sustainable or safe. At Kronos, our mission is to deliver aneutronic fusion energy at less than $10/MWh, free from the risks of neutron radiation and weaponization. This U.S.-India partnership completes our global supply chain, allowing us to rapidly scale and produce 100+ fusion energy generators per year by 2035.”
Aneutronic Fusion: Addressing Regulatory Challenges and Reducing Risks
One of the key advantages of Kronos Fusion Energy’s proprietary aneutronic fusion technology is the significant reduction in regulatory hurdles compared to traditional nuclear reactors. In traditional nuclear energy, the production of neutrons results in radioactive byproducts, including tritium, which poses long-term environmental risks and the potential for nuclear weaponization.
By contrast, aneutronic fusion reactors, like those developed by Kronos, produce zero neutrons during their fusion process. The absence of neutrons eliminates the risk of nuclear weaponization and drastically reduces the creation of radioactive waste. Tritium, a common fuel used in many fusion reactors, is entirely absent from Kronos Fusion Energy’s fuel composition, further reducing the regulatory complexities associated with radioactive materials. These characteristics provide a clear regulatory path forward, allowing Kronos Fusion Energy to accelerate the deployment of its fusion generators globally.
“Our proprietary aneutronic reactors, which don’t produce neutrons or rely on tritium, significantly ease the regulatory burden typically associated with nuclear energy,” said Michael Laughlin, COO of Kronos Fusion Energy. “By removing the need for complex containment strategies and long-term waste storage, our generators provide clean, sustainable energy without the heavy regulatory footprint. This makes our technology not only safer but more economically feasible for widespread adoption.”
The combination of aneutronic fuel and direct energy conversion makes Kronos’ fusion generators a viable and scalable solution for regions where traditional nuclear reactors face high regulatory barriers, such as densely populated areas, industrial zones, and remote or off-grid locations. These benefits are expected to streamline the regulatory approval process across multiple countries, positioning Kronos as a leader in bringing fusion energy to the market.
