HB11 Energy is developing Laser Hydrogen Boron-11 fusion to provide a new source of unlimited, clean, safe and reliable energy. It intends to generate electricity using laser-ignited non-thermal fusion. The company deployed a nanosecond and picosecond two-pulse laser system to achieve Fast Ignition. Focused energy accelerates protons and initiates fusion within a compressed fuel pellet. Hydrogen-Boron fuel pellets are injected and burned at a rate of about 1 per second. The energy released drives a conventional steam cycle generator.
