US' fusion energy goal can be achieved soon with new fuel recycling
Marathon Fusion is set to design specific membranes to improve the efficiency of fuel recycling in fusion reactors. It's claimed that existing fuel processing for such plants are complex and were never designed for commercial operation.
The company claims that the superpermeable hydrogen pump greatly accelerates tritium processing using plasma technology and separation membranes. A new efficient fuel recycling method could help the United States, which has set a goal of enabling a fusion pilot plant, led by the private sector, on a decadal timescale as the country moves toward a net-zero economy by 2050. While the shift toward greater private-sector involvement in fusion R&D is seen most dramatically in the United States, it is a strongly growing global trend with equity investments in companies based in Canada, U.K., Japan, E.U., China, and others.
