MOU supports the commercialization of fusion energy technology

OTTAWA, ON and OXFORD, United Kingdom, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stellarex Energy and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) are pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on the advancement of stellarator fusion energy technology.

This MoU provides a framework for joint scientific research and engineering validation to accelerate the deployment and development of Stellarex’s simplified stellarator fusion power plant design.

The collaboration focuses on critical technical areas required to transition fusion from experimental science to industrial-scale engineering. Under the terms of the MOU, Stellarex and UKAEA will partner on several key initiatives, including plasma physics and confinement, high-temperature superconductors technology, operational systems, diagnostics, and fuel cycle.

“Stellarex is delighted to be collaborating with the UKAEA, an organization at the forefront of the global effort to commercialize fusion energy,” said Dr. Spencer Pitcher, Co-founder and CEO of Stellarex Energy. “By combining our simplified stellarator approach with UKAEA’s unparalleled fusion expertise, we are significantly de-risking the path to a commercially viable fusion power plant.”

Stephen Wheeler, UKAEA Executive Director, said: “UKAEA has decades of experience operating powerful fusion machines and solving complex fusion challenges that are relevant to many different fusion system designs. We are committed to supporting fusion developers around the globe to help develop fusion as a source of clean energy for tomorrow’s power plants.

“There are many innovative approaches to fusion and UKAEA is pleased to work with Stellarex to support the development of stellarator technology.”

About Stellarex Energy

Stellarex Energy is a Princeton University spin-off focused on fusion energy development. By leveraging a simplified stellarator design, Stellarex Energy reduces technical risk and utilizes staged demonstration devices to validate technology, de‑risk scale‑up, and accelerate the commercial and economical deployment of fusion power. Through its strategic partnership with Ontario Power Generation (OPG) and its leadership in the Centre for Fusion Energy – a new Canadian public-private partnership focused on advancing fusion energy research and developing a demonstration reactor – the company is accelerating the deployment of fusion power in Canada. Stellarex Energy is headquartered in Toronto, Canada.

About the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority 

The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) is the UK’s national fusion energy research organisation. We are an executive non-departmental public body of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). 

The work we do 

UKAEA’s mission is to lead the delivery of sustainable fusion energy to maximise scientific and UK economic benefit. We do this by being technical experts, partnering with companies and the international research community. At the core of UKAEA’s efforts is the operation of world-leading facilities that build a comprehensive knowledge base for fusion energy. By addressing and solving the challenges across the full lifecycle of fusion, and integrating solutions from various disciplines, we establish technical centres of excellence that serve as the foundation for future fusion power plant programmes. UKAEA collaborates with its partners to develop fusion power plants by providing access to our skills, facilities and expertise. UKAEA owns UK Fusion Energy (UKFE) on behalf of the UK government. Through UKFE, we’re spearheading the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) programme to design and build the UK’s first prototype fusion energy power plant in Nottinghamshire. To grow the fusion ecosystem, UKAEA focuses on cultivating skilled talent, growing the fusion industry and creating ‘innovation clusters’. We actively seek opportunities to advance fusion technologies and communicate its vast potential to stakeholders and the public alike to accelerate fusion energy’s future – the energy of tomorrow we need today.

AMSTERDAM, May 13, 2026 /3BL/ – SCS Global Services (SCS), a global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability assurance, today announced expanded services under the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), as SCS Global Services Europe B.V. (SCS Europe) progresses through accreditation for the following activity groups:

  • Activity Group 4 – Production of (non)‑ferrous metals 
  • Activity Group 8 – Chemical industry activities 

SCS Europe is uniquely positioned to serve ETS verification expectations through its combined experience across EU regulatory programs, including CBAM, EUDR, and RED III, and its ability to deliver independent pre-verification assessments aligned with accredited verification requirements.

“As EU ETS requirements become more complex and scrutiny around emissions data continues to increase, organizations are recognizing the need for independent, verification-aligned assessments earlier in the process,” said Vanessa Ellis, Director of Program Development at SCS Europe. “Our approach provides that early visibility, giving organizations a clear view of how their systems and data will hold up under third-party verification while maintaining the independence required for accredited assurance.”

While the accreditation process is ongoing, SCS Europe is actively providing operators through a suite of services designed to highlight readiness and identify potential compliance risk ahead of formal verification.

These services include a free EU ETS Readiness Tool, which enables operators to carry out a confidential self‑assessment to understand their current level of readiness and highlight potential areas of misalignment with EU ETS monitoring, reporting, and control systems.

SCS Europe also provides preverification services, conducted with the same technical rigor as accredited verification without issuing a formal verification opinion. These independent assessments identify risks related to emissions data accuracy, monitoring plans, data flows, and compliance with the EU ETS Monitoring and Reporting Regulation (MRR), providing visibility into readiness gaps and potential compliance risks.

In addition, informational sessions are offered as part of pre‑verification engagements, covering requirements, compliance timelines, the verification process, and common findings, so operators and responsible staff can better understand verification expectations ahead of their pre-verification.

Operators interested in assessing their readiness ahead of upcoming reporting cycles are encouraged to begin with the free EU ETS Readiness Tool or connect with an SCS specialist.

About SCS Global Services Europe

SCS Global Services Europe is an affiliated company of SCS Global Services, a pioneer and leader in the field of sustainability standards and third-party certification, working across the economy in the natural resources, built environment, food and agriculture, consumer products, and climate sectors for over 40 years. Partnering with European companies, government agencies, NGOs, and stakeholders, we are striving to advance sustainable development goals through independent assessment, the application of sound science, and innovative solutions. Through these services, we are enabling decision-makers and purchasers to make informed decisions, giving innovators a competitive edge, and helping to drive the development of leadership standards to create a framework for continuous improvement. SCS is a California-chartered Benefit Corporation, reflecting its commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices.  SCS is also a Participant of the United Nations Global Compact and adheres to its principles-based approach to responsible business.
