Fusion Energy: Bringing the Power of the Sun & Stars to Earth

Presented by Dr. Spencer Pitcher, CEO of Stellarex Group Ltd.

Date: Tuesday, March 3, 2026

Time: 2 - 4 p.m.

Where: Ontario Tech University, Energy Research Centre Atrium (In-Person Only)

Address: 30 Founders Drive, Oshawa

Fusion energy is the process that powers and the Sun and stars. Scientists have been working on harnessing this power for the benefit of mankind since shortly after World War II. Incredible progress has been made over the intervening decades and these advances are to the point now that this technology is on the verge of commercialization.

The recent technical advances have given rise to what is effectively a gold-rush towards fusion energy. Advances include breakthroughs in supercomputers, computer simulations using Artificial Intelligence, advanced materials, and particularly the advent of high temperature superconductors that are used to make the powerful magnets that contain the fusion fuel that is hotter than the centre of the Sun!

Fusion energy uses fuel that is virtually unlimited on Earth, does not produce greenhouse gas emissions, is intrinsically safe and produces no long-lived nor high-level radioactive waste. Fusion is the ultimate energy source, and the original source of all energy in the Universe. Nothing comes after fusion energy.

In this talk, the status of worldwide fusion energy research will be discussed and the roadmap for the development of fusion energy in Canada presented.
