Public-private partnerships have a long success of speeding up the innovation process. And when it comes to fusion, we need to move faster than ever before to compete globally. The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science's Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program is focused on accelerating fusion's path to commercial liftoff by providing resources, dedicated technical and commercial support, access to our world-renowned national laboratories, and collaboration across industry, academia, and the public sector. ICYMI, INFUSE provided $4.6 million to 17 awardees last week. Notably, four companies within the Breakthrough Energy network were selected for INFUSE awards. Congratulations to Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Type One Energy Group, Xcimer Energy Corporation, and Marathon Fusion. INFUSE is a great complement to the milestone-based fusion development program and, to continue driving these efforts forward and achieve our economic goals, we need to exponentially increase funding annually to unlock its pathway to deployment.

At #BESummit2024, Jason Huang — CEO of TS Conductor — sat down with Akshat Rathi for Bloomberg Green's Zero podcast to discuss the future of our energy grid. As the push for net-zero intensifies, innovation isn't just about new infrastructure — it's about making the existing grid more reliable, affordable and resilient. Huang emphasized, "There's just no better way of getting a better return compared to reconductoring." Read more in Bloomberg: https://nt-z.ro/4cozEjp

At Breakthrough Energy Discovery, we believe innovation is infinite. What does that mean? It is our mission to keep new, breakthrough ideas flowing into the climate-tech ecosystem. We start at the earliest, highest risk stages - finding and supporting technologies that are still in a lab, or a classroom, or even just an innovator's mind. How do we do this? Well, Tim De Chant is a far better writer than I am, so I'll let him continue the story below! https://lnkd.in/ev28adKa #cleantech #breakthroughenergy #climatetech #philanthropy #discovery #energy #entrepreneurship

The Alliance for Low-Carbon Cement & Concrete recently celebrated one year since launching in Brussels. During that time they have doubled their membership and made tangible progress in amplifying the voices of progressive actors shifting the cement and concrete narrative. “We are at a turning point. We now have solutions to accelerate cement and concrete decarbonisation, but ensuring those technologies are deployed at scale will require policy support, performance-based standards, and innovative financing,” says Penelope Le Menestrel, Manager, Europe at Breakthrough Energy.
