Breakeven fusion is on the horizon, but the first-of-a-kind reactors will be expensive and require significant maintenance with low capacity factors, resulting in much higher electricity costs on the grid. However, Maritime Fusion is pioneering fusion technology for marine applications, aiming to provide a cost-effective and emission-free alternative to traditional fuels. By focusing on ships, we are able to avoid many regulatory challenges and safety risks associated with nuclear energy, offering a compact and efficient solution with reduced material challenges and tritium consumption. Our team has a strong background in plasma physics, nuclear engineering, and electrical engineering, with experience at reputable organizations like SpaceX and Tesla. This is fusion, not fission – no uranium involved, and a Tokamak reactor can indeed fit on a ship. Stay tuned for more updates.
