Two major fusion energy companies, Commonwealth Fusion Systems and Realta Fusion, have announced a partnership to collaborate in the push towards commercial fusion. The companies aim to develop high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets for Realtas' demonstration prototypes and commercial fusion power plants by mid-2030s. The partnership is in response to the Iran war and the need for diversify energy supplies. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but it has the potential to reach a multi-billion dollar value. The collaboration comes as fusion energy becomes more urgent due to the need to diversify existing energy supply lines. Despite decades of failed commercialization efforts and high costs, fusion has been hailed as a breakthrough in 2022 when fusion produced more energy than the laser energy used to drive it.
