Cosa fa Maritime Fusion
Maritime Fusion is building fusion reactors for ships and off grid energy markets. En route on this endeavor we’re commercializing High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) cable technology for power distribution while advancing the physics basis of our HTS tokamak to decarbonize global shipping. Breakeven fusion is coming soon, but the first-of-a-kind (FOAK) reactors will be costly, high maintenance, and have low capacity factors, leading to 5 - 10x higher electricity cost on the grid. Maritime Fusion is pursuing the most widely accepted approach to fusion, the tokamak, but specifically designed for the marine environment where the challenges that arise between breakeven and a commercially viable energy source are alleviated. The market we're targeting requires 15x less power, lower up-time, and costs the same as alternative fuels but without any emissions. Since fusion does not use highly radioactive fuels or materials - unlike fission - we sidestep the vast majority of regulatory challenges and safety risks associated with nuclear energy. Our team brings over a decade of industry and research experience in plasma physics, nuclear engineering, and electrical engineering with backgrounds at SpaceX, Tesla, Columbia University, and University of Pennsylvania.

Fusion reactors for ships
We're building fusion reactors specifically designed to power ships and off-grid energy markets. Along the way, we're commercializing high temperature superconducting cable technology for power distribution. Our fusion approach uses HTS tokamaks optimized for marine environments, aiming to decarbonize global shipping with safer, less regulated reactors that avoid the common fission challenges.
We live in San Francisco, and the company will remain based here after YC.
San Francisco has the engineering talent and investor community suited for advanced energy and hard tech. Our backgrounds and team are already rooted here.
