CFS is building SPARC, its fusion demonstration machine, expected to achieve net energy gain (Q > 1) by 2027. In parallel, CFS is moving forward with plans to build the world’s first grid-scale fusion power plant, called ARC, in Chesterfield County, Virginia. This effort to put power on the grid in the early 2030s is bolstered by strategic partnerships with Dominion Energy and Google — an investor in CFS that also agreed to buy half the power produced at the plant, representing the largest fusion power purchase agreement in history.

Fusion offers the potential for abundant, zero-carbon, dispatchable power without many of the geographic, intermittency, or waste allenges associated with other clean energy sources. Major recent breakthroughs in magnets, computational power, AI and machine learning,additive manufacturing, and robotics mark an inflection point. CFS has assembled a world-class team which is executing on a highly credible plan to make commercial fusion power a reality.

Riverlane is building ‘Deltaflow’, the Quantum Error Correction (QEC) Stack, that handles error correction in all quantum computers using every type of qubit. At Deltaflow’s core is the world’s most powerful quantum error decoder. Deltaflow is powered by a new class of patented QEC semiconductors designed and built by Riverlane.

Addressing the error problem is critical to unlocking quantum computing’s transformational promise and an $800+ billion market. Currently, the best quantum computers can perform a few hundred operations before failure. Riverlane’s Deltaflow will help this increase to millions of error-free operations, and eventually trillions. Achieving this scale will unlock transformative applications in industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, material science and transportation.

Submer provides best-in-class technology that enables data centres around the world to leverage the power of immersion cooling for HPC, hyperscale, data centres, Edge, AI, DL and blockchain applications.

Air-cooled data centres today consume 10% of global electricity output and will emit 2.75% of GHG emissions by 2025 (surpassing the airline sector) and potentially also become a large-scale water consumer. Liquid immersion cooling is the next generation of more sustainable data centre cooling technologies.

Submer’s innovative, patented technology uses modular tanks filled with a biodegradable electrically non-conductive liquid to cool data centre server units. The technology uses 50% less energy, 99% less water and 85% less real estate than traditional cooling, and future-proofs customers against evolving emissions regulations.
