Sidley represented Siemens Energy, a global leader in energy technology, in their strategic equity investment in Marvel Fusion GmbH. Marvel Fusion is at the forefront of developing technology aimed at harnessing fusion energy, a long-anticipated advancement in the energy sector.
Fusion energy, which involves the release of energy through the fusion of atomic nuclei, holds the promise of providing a permanently available and clean energy source. Unlike nuclear fission, fusion energy eliminates the risk of a nuclear meltdown, making it a safer and more sustainable alternative for meeting global energy needs.
The Sidley team was led by counsel Thomas Komanek, together with associate Philipp Barlet and partners Istvan Hajdu, Christian Zuleger, and Marcus Klie.
