Descrizione
To achieve climate targets while maintaining industrial value creation and prosperity in Europe, EU companies must be able to switch to clean and competitive energy. Marvel Fusion (“MF”), founded in Munich in 2019, pursues a new and fast-track to commercialize fusion energy. The unique approach builds on the laser-fusion concept of the National Ignition Facility (“NIF”), where energy gain was demonstrated for the first time in 2022. With diode-pumped laser systems, nanostructured targets and the use of mixed fuels, MF bypasses the main problems of traditional fusion concepts to achieve a commercially viable power plant concept. MF has performed more than 2,000 experiments over the past three years to validate its approach. With the completion of the demonstration facility in Colorado by 2027 with two proprietary laser systems developed in collaboration with SPRIN-D, MF will reach a full proof-of-technology – with infrastructure and laser of the facility already fully funded. Afterwards, MF will build a pilot powerplant by 2033 with 100 MW output, with Siemens Energy as development partner. To achieve their ambitious goals, MF has assembled a world-class team of scientists and entrepreneurs, and a network of academic and industrial partners, including collaborations with Colorado State (“CSU”), Stanford, and LMU. Furthermore, European companies like Thales and Siemens Energy assist MF in the development and industrialization of MF’s technology.
