The Global LENR Landscape Report 2026 provides one of the most comprehensive overviews of the rapidly evolving Solid-State Fusion (SSF) ecosystem, know also as LENR or Low Energy Nuclear Reaction. The report identifies 30 organizations spanning research institutions, commercial companies, government programs, industry partners, and nonprofit organizations that are advancing research, technology development, and commercialization efforts around the world.

It highlights the growing international momentum behind SSF, showcasing contributions from academia, industry, and government across more than a dozen countries. In addition to profiling organizations, the report examines their technologies, commercialization readiness, and the collaborative landscape driving innovation in this emerging field.

As interest in Solid-State Fusion continues to expand, this report serves as a valuable resource for researchers, investors, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of the current global ecosystem.

U.S. DOE Releases Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap

The U.S. Department of Energy has published its Fusion Science and Technology Roadmap, a national strategy aimed at accelerating the commercialization of fusion energy by the mid-2030s. Organized around a Build–Innovate–Grow framework, the Roadmap sets near-term (2–3 years), mid-term (3–5 years), and long-term (5–10 years) actions to close critical gaps in materials, fuel cycle, plasma-facing components, confinement, blankets, and plant engineering — the six Core Challenge Areas identified as standing between today's private-sector demonstration platforms and a viable Fusion Pilot Plant in the 2030s.

The document also outlines a planned AI-Fusion Digital Convergence Platform intended to accelerate design and modeling across the field, and maps its priorities to the 2020 FESAC Long-Range Plan and DOE's newly formed Office of Fusion.

As DOE Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil frames it, the Roadmap is meant to chart a clear path for federal support to the fusion industry, identifying the science and technology milestones needed to bring commercial fusion power to the grid.
