Hydrogen energy hub and advocacy

An alternative energy power source based on nuclear fusion, where atoms come together into forms with greater stability, releasing energy.

The laser-based fusion approach used at the National Ignition Facility to achieve the net energy gain breakthrough.

A form of clean energy, also known as green hydrogen, that does not produce carbon (CO2) emissions during production or consumption.

The nuclear fusion experiment conducted at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility that achieved net energy gain on December 5, 2022.

A project to develop a center for clean, renewable hydrogen production facilitation across several sites in California, aimed at decarbonizing port operations, heavy-duty trucking, and public transportation.
