Focused Energy is a US-German startup that aiming to achieve commercial nuclear fusion using laser intertial fusion energy.
Technology
Focused Energy is developing a commercial nuclear plant architecture for laser fusion energy, building on work done at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab, a global leader on the concept.
They have also developed a proprietary deuterium-tritium fuel, which the startup claims can increase the energy output 30-fold compared to existing inertial confinement fusion approaches[1].
Application
Describe the startup's product or technology application here. Consider adding stated use cases and current (or potential) customers if it provides a useful illustration.
Intellectual Property
The startup currently owns or licenses the following patents:
- Patent 1
- Patent 2
Participation in any technology transfer programmes may be worth describing here as well.
Leadership & Team
Focused Energy has recruited three key researchers from the National Ignition Facility who helped achieve the first-ever net energy gain in 2022[2]. The achievement is considered a major breakthrough in global progress towards commerical nuclear fusion.
Funding
Focused Energy closed a US$15 million seed round in 2021[3].
