Tri Alpha Energy, Inc. (TAE) is an American company based in Foothill Ranch, California, created for the development of aneutronic fusion power. The company was founded in 1998, and is backed by private capital.

Tri Alpha Energy operated as a stealth company for many years, refraining from launching its website until 2015. The company did not generally discuss progress nor any schedule commercial production. However, it has registered and renewed various patents. It regularly publishes theoretical and experimental results in academic journals with over 150 publications and posters at scientific conferences over the last five years. TAE has a research library hosting these articles on their website.

An essential component of the Colliding Beam Fusion Reactor (CBFR) design is the use of "advanced fuels", i.e. fuels with primary reactions that do not produce neutrons, such as hydrogen and boron-11. CBFR fusion products are all charged particles for which highly efficient direct energy conversion is feasible. Neutron flux and associated on-site radioactivity is virtually non-existent. So unlike other nuclear fusion research involving deuterium and tritium, and unlike nuclear fission, no radioactive waste is created. The hydrogen and boron-11 fuel used in this type of reaction is also much more abundant.
