TAE Technologies has signed an agreement with Black Moon Energy Corporation (BMEC) for a prospective helium-3 fuel supply option and commercial development collaboration, according to a press release issued Aug. 5, 2026.

Under the terms of the agreement, BMEC would supply helium-3 fuel to TAE Technologies to support the company's fusion power development. BMEC is a privately funded natural-resource and lunar-development company that plans to execute a robotic lunar delineation mission within five years to de-risk a commercial-scale helium-3 production operation.

"This agreement can facilitate our path to power by providing an alternative fuel supply option," said TAE CEO Michl Binderbauer. "TAE has a high degree of flexibility to select from the most cost-competitive fuel cycle, whereas many other fusion machines are able to operate only on the deuterium-tritium cycle."

TAE Technologies is preparing to construct its first fusion power plant, called Da Vinci, which is expected to generate 50 MWe of electricity. A site for the facility is expected to be selected later this year, with operations targeted to begin in 2031. Future facilities are designed to scale to 350–500 MWe.

TAE Technologies also noted it continues to advance a previously announced business combination with Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq: DJT), with plans to file a Form S-4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company anticipates closing the transaction before the end of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.
