Renewal Fuels, Inc. (OTC: RNWF) and Kepler Fusion Technologies Release Technical White Paper Detailing Texatron™ Aneutronic Fusion Platform Architecture and Commercialization Pathway
Rhea-AI Summary
Renewal Fuels (OTC: RNWF) and subsidiary Kepler Fusion Technologies released a technical white paper describing the Texatron™ aneutronic fusion platform, its architecture, physics framework, and commercialization pathway. The Texatron™ is a pulsed, modular system optimized for D‑He3 fuel cycles and designed for direct electric conversion, reduced neutron damage, and lower long‑lived waste versus D‑T systems. Kepler reports proof‑of‑principle toroidal plasma formation at sub‑fusion temperatures and a patent pipeline of >238 filings. Key milestones include a targeted 100 MW demonstration before end‑2026, PCAOB‑audited financials due Feb 2026, a ~$50M financing objective, and pursuit of a national exchange listing.
Positive
- Proof‑of‑principle demonstrated stable toroidal plasma formation at sub‑fusion temperatures
- Patents >238 in pipeline covering reactor, confinement, conversion, and controls
- Targeted 100 MW demo before end of 2026 (commercial proof milestone)
Negative
- Proof‑of‑principle reached only at sub‑fusion temperatures, not yet at commercial fusion conditions
- Planned $50M financing may dilute existing shareholders
- Legal matter remains pending in court (procedural motion filed); outcome uncertain

SOUTHLAKE, Texas, Jan. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renewal Fuels, Inc. (OTC: RNWF) (“RNWF” or the “Company”), together with Kepler Fusion Technologies Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary (“Kepler”), has released a comprehensive technical white paper detailing the architecture, physics framework, and commercialization pathway of Kepler’s proprietary Texatron™ aneutronic fusion energy platform.
The technical white paper is available for download at:
Texatron™ Fusion Energy Platform - White Paper
The Texatron™ is a pulsed fusion system engineered specifically for commercial deployment. Unlike steady-state fusion approaches, the Texatron™ operates in a controlled cyclic regime involving plasma formation, compression and heating, a confinement phase during which fusion reactions occur, followed by controlled plasma dissipation and system reset. This operating profile is designed to support modular scalability, system redundancy, and infrastructure-grade deployment.
Kepler’s proof-of-principle experimental work has demonstrated stable toroidal plasma formation at sub-fusion temperatures, validating key elements of the confinement concept described in the white paper.
The Texatron™ platform is optimized for aneutronic fusion fuel cycles, with a primary focus on Deuterium–Helium-3 (D-He³). This fuel pathway enables direct electric energy conversion, significantly reduces neutron-induced material degradation, and minimizes long-lived radioactive waste relative to conventional Deuterium-Tritium fusion systems.
The platform is being developed as a modular family of systems across multiple planned output configurations, enabling deployment for applications including industrial facilities, advanced manufacturing, data centers, defense installations, and other grid-constrained or mission-critical environments. Kepler’s commercialization strategy centers on a Power-as-a-Service model under which the Company owns and operates Texatron™ units and sells electricity under long-term contracted arrangements.
“The release of this white paper reflects our commitment to transparency and technical rigor as we advance the Texatron™ platform toward commercial deployment,” said Brent Nelson, Chief Executive Officer of Kepler Fusion Technologies. “We believe it is important for investors and stakeholders to have clear visibility into the physics, engineering, and commercialization framework underlying our approach to fusion energy infrastructure.”
Kepler maintains a substantial and growing intellectual property portfolio with more than 238 patents in its pipeline covering reactor architecture, plasma confinement systems, energy conversion technologies, controls, manufacturing processes, and deployment methodologies. The Company expects continued intellectual property development throughout 2026.
Key anticipated milestones discussed in the white paper include a targeted demonstration of a 100-megawatt Texatron™ reactor system before the end of 2026, completion of PCAOB-audited financial statements targeted for February 2026, a targeted financing objective of approximately
Litigation Update
The Company also provided an update regarding its previously disclosed litigation relating to the recovery and cancellation of certain shares. Earlier today, the Company filed a procedural motion with the court addressing an unauthorized filing that was submitted after the relevant party had been dismissed from the action. The matter remains pending before the court and continues to proceed through the ordinary judicial process. The Company does not anticipate any near-term impact on its operations or ongoing corporate initiatives as a result of this matter and will provide additional updates as appropriate.
