American Fusion Appoints Independent Scientific Director Amid Strategic Expansion

The appointment of Fabrice David as an Independent Director at Renewal Fuels, Inc., operating as American Fusion, represents a strategic governance enhancement as the company progresses its aneutronic fusion technology toward commercialization. David brings over two decades of scientific research experience in fusion-related energy science, advanced nuclear phenomena, and applied biotechnology, with authorship of more than 130 scientific publications and numerous patents across advanced energy systems. His background includes sustained engagement in fusion-adjacent research through participation in leading international conferences focused on fusion energy, low-energy nuclear reactions, and plasma-based systems, aligning with American Fusion's strategic direction in non-conventional fusion pathways and experimental validation.

David's previous role as Partner and Board Member of DEUO Dynamics in the United Kingdom provided him with direct experience in governance and strategic oversight of advanced fusion and cold-fusion research initiatives, including research evaluation, intellectual property development, and international scientific collaboration. This experience is particularly relevant for fusion enterprises navigating the transition from advanced research to infrastructure-scale deployment. Additionally, his background includes founding and operating a photovoltaic solar distribution business, offering firsthand exposure to clean-energy commercialization, deployment logistics, and market adoption dynamics, providing a balanced perspective on both frontier research and practical energy infrastructure development.

As an Independent Director, David will provide scientific and technical oversight, insight into intellectual property strategy, and independent judgment supporting disciplined governance. Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion Technologies, stated that David brings deep scientific credibility and long-standing engagement in fusion-related research, strengthening the Board as the company continues building a scalable fusion energy platform. Richard Hawkins, Chairman and CEO of Renewal Fuels, Inc., emphasized that independent scientific oversight is critical as the company advances toward commercialization, noting that David's background reflects decades of disciplined research and intellectual rigor across fusion-adjacent systems and advanced energy technologies.

The company continues to advance additional patent filings supporting the Texatron™ platform while focusing on regulatory initiatives, including preparation of its Form 10 registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is now substantially complete. The company is in the process of obtaining required EDGAR access codes to file the Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and expects to file next week. The PCAOB audit for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 is nearing completion, with only one remaining audit item outstanding prior to finalization. The company is also progressing its pending corporate action with FINRA related to its transition to American Fusion.
