Company mission
To free humanity from fossil fuels, save the planet from climate change and unlock a new era of progress, prosperity and safety for all.
Our take
The need for safe, reliable, and zero-carbon energy is urgent. Fossil fuels cause significant emissions and environmental harm, while renewables like wind and solar are limited by their intermittent nature. This has intensified the search for sustainable solutions, with nuclear fusion standing out.
Xcimer is advancing laser-driven inertial fusion technology to address this energy problem. Leveraging decades of research and advancements in technology, the company hopes to enhance the efficiency and scalability of fusion energy production.
In a nutshell, the company is developing the world's highest-energy laser system, using innovative techniques to scale fusion generation to industrial levels. This approach has the potential to make fusion a viable and economical energy source - having a significant effect on global energy woes.
With a successful round of fundraising, Xcimer is set to advance its technological and commercialization efforts. It plans to establish a new facility in Denver for constructing a prototype laser system, and expand its technical team. A $9 million award from the US Department of Energy further highlights the value of bringing the promise of fusion power closer to reality.
