IEEE PES Chapter Technical Talk "Practical Paths to Fusion Energy" by Michael Delage, CTO, General Fusion
IEEE PES Vancouver Chapter is pleased to announce the following Technical Talk and kindly invites the chapter members and guests to attend the presentation.
Title: “Practical Paths to Fusion Energy”
Presenter: Michael Delage, Chief Technology Officer, General Fusion, Burnaby, BC
Date: Monday, February 27 2017

Place: BC Hydro: Edmonds A01 Auditorium - Southpoint Room,
6911 Southpoint Drive, Burnaby, BC V3N 4X8
Synopsis of the talk:
Burnaby-based General Fusion is developing the fastest, most practical path to commercial fusion energy - a clean, safe, abundant and on-demand form of energy that, when harnessed, could provide a nearly unlimited source of power with zero CO2 emissions. The company is combining state-of-the-art plasma physics with more traditional technology such as gas driven pistons in the pursuit of a power plant that can be practically implemented at commercial scale. In this talk, Chief Technology Officer Michael Delage will discuss the progress of fusion energy development, the challenges it faces, and the technology being developed here in BC that could lead to clean energy, everywhere, forever.
