ARPA-E commits $135 million for fusion commercialization
Yesterday, the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) announced its largest concentrated investment in fusion technology so far, committing $135 million over the next 18 months to fund projects that develop and commercialize fusion technologies.
The agency said it has invested approximately $134 million in commercial fusion since it began funding fusion projects with the launch of its ALPHA program in 2014, so the next year and a half will see a doubling of the agency’s investment in the fusion space.
