What these terms mean

Every classification on this page, defined. These are controlled-vocabulary terms, so the same word means the same thing on every profile.

Fusion developer
Develops a fusion device or power plant concept. Carries no implication that the device exists or works.
Fusion
Organizations pursuing energy from nuclear fusion, and their dedicated supply chain.
Laser ICF, direct drive › › Laser ICF, direct drive
Laser beams strike the fuel capsule directly. More efficient than indirect drive in principle, but far more sensitive to how evenly the beams are applied.
Proton–boron-11
Aneutronic, and requires roughly an order of magnitude more triple product than D-T. A p-¹¹B roadmap that skips D-T is a listed red flag.

In Marvel Fusion’s own words

Quoted from the organisation’s own site as we archived it. Their description of themselves, not ours, and not a claim this site has checked.

Together with our strategic partner, Siemens Energy, and a network of leading industrial suppliers in Europe and in the United States, we’re aiming to unlock the potential of fusion energy for unlimited, competitive, and reliable power generation.

With the underlying physics validated, we’re focusing on the ignition process as the key to making laser-based inertial fusion energy commercially viable. This includes alternative fuel cycles for ignition, investigating cost-effective energy extraction technologies, and potentially eliminating the need for tritium in the fuel cycle.

To date, we’ve secured more than USD 400 million in public and private funding from leading European venture capital firms, strategic industrial partners, family offices, and public investors. Marvel Fusion is led by Co-Founder and CEO Moritz von der Linden, CSO Prof. Dr. Hartmut Ruhl, COO Heike Freund, and CFO Dr. Nicolas Burkardt, combining scientific excellence with industrial and financial leadership to scale fusion energy toward commercial deployment.
