General Fusion

General Fusion develops utility-scale fusion power using a new, patent-pending concept based on recent developments in Magnetized Target Fusion (MTF). MTF has been relatively unexplored by the fusion community since the 1970s, but if proven it would provide a practical near-term path to fusion energy. It is the goal of General Fusion to demonstrate and commercialize this new clean, safe, and economical concept by the end of the decade.  General Fusion is supported by a global syndicate of energy venture capital funds, industry leaders, & technology pioneers.

 Canada-based Carbon Engineering specializes in Direct Air Capture (DAC) and air-to-fuel (ATF) technologies. As of January 2021, Carbon Engineering&rsquo;s DAC technology has a proposed cost of capture of around USD 100 per ton of carbon dioxide.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 Carbon Engineering&rsquo;s pilot plant in British Columbia, Canada, which was built as a proof of concept, captures only one ton of carbon dioxide per day. Carbon Engineering estimates that a plant capable of capturing one million tons of carbon dioxide per year, which is equivalent to 40 million trees, would require 150-300 acres of land.&nbsp;
 
 
 Key customers and partnerships
 
 
 In May 2019, Carbon Engineering partnered with Oxy Low Carbon Ventures, a subsidiary of the US oil and gas company, Occidental Petroleum, to build its first commercial DAC facility in Texas. The proposed project will start with one DAC plant that captures one megaton of atmospheric carbon dioxide per year and is expected to expand to include multiple DAC plants, each capable of capturing one megaton of carbon dioxide&nbsp;annually. The construction of the first plant is expected to begin in 2022 and be completed by 2024. Carbon Engineering also has a partnership with Storegga Geotechnologies to deploy its technology in the UK. In June 2022, Carbon Engineering extended its collaboration with 
 <a href="https://sp-edge.com/updates/10949">

 </a>
 to deploy DAC projects globally.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 As of March 2021, Carbon Engineering allows customers to pre-purchase carbon removal quantities with a deposit for their carbon removal units. The remainder is due once the carbon dioxide has been physically removed and independently verified. Customers may receive discounts for purchasing higher volumes.
 
 In March 2021, Carbon Engineering signed up Shopify as their first customer, having reserved 10,000 tons of permanent carbon removal capacity from a future carbon capture project.&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 In July 2021, Carbon Engineering partnered with BeZero, a British climate asset and liability management company, for a joint retail offering that allows customers to purchase Carbon Engineering&rsquo;s carbon removals through BeZero&rsquo;s website&mdash;at a price of USD 680 per 10 metric tons.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 
 
 
 
 In October 2021, Carbon Engineering also partnered with Huron Clean Energy (Canada), The Upper Nicola Band (Canada), and Oxy Low Carbon Ventures to develop a large-scale commercial ATF facility in British Columbia. The facility is expected to begin construction in 2023, and operations are targeted to commence in 2026.
