Renewal Fuels, Inc., operating as American Fusion, has appointed Fabrice David as an independent director, effective February 23, 2026. David is an independent scientific researcher and inventor with over two decades of experience in fusion-related energy science, advanced nuclear phenomena, propulsion systems, and applied biotechnology. He has authored or co-authored more than 130 scientific publications and holds numerous patents across advanced energy systems, nuclear science, and experimental physics. Throughout his career, David has maintained sustained engagement in fusion-adjacent research, including participation in leading international conferences focused on fusion energy, low-energy nuclear reactions, plasma-based systems, and advanced energy conversion.
His work reflects a long-term focus on non-conventional fusion pathways, experimental validation, and intellectual property development, aligning closely with American Fusion's strategic direction. David previously served as a partner and board member of DEUO Dynamics in the United Kingdom, where he contributed to governance and strategic oversight of advanced fusion and cold-fusion research initiatives. In that role, he supported research evaluation, intellectual property development, international scientific collaboration, and commercialization pathways. In addition to his work in fusion-adjacent science, David founded and operated a photovoltaic solar distribution business, providing firsthand exposure to clean-energy commercialization, deployment logistics, and market adoption dynamics.
His background spans both frontier research and applied energy markets, offering a balanced perspective on long-horizon innovation 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 as the company advances its Texatron™ aneutronic fusion platform toward commercial deployment. Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion Technologies, stated that David brings deep scientific credibility and long-standing engagement in fusion-related research. Richard Hawkins, chairman and CEO of Renewal Fuels, Inc., emphasized that independent scientific oversight is critical as the company advances toward commercialization.
The company continues to advance additional patent filings supporting the Texatron™ platform. In parallel, the company remains focused on its 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 the 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 continuing to progress its pending corporate action with FINRA related to its transition to American Fusion.
