About General Fusion

General Fusion is developing fusion energy technology to generate clean, safe, and abundant energy. The company was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. General Fusion's technology uses a magnetized target fusion (MTF) approach, which involves creating a vortex of plasma and compressing it with a liquid metal. The resulting fusion reaction releases energy that can be harnessed to generate electricity. General Fusion has received funding from a variety of sources, including the Canadian government, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, and the venture capital firm Khosla Ventures.
