Renewal Fuels, Inc. (OTC: RNWF), operating as American Fusion, announced the appointment of Fabrice David as an Independent Director, effective February 23, 2026. David, an independent scientific researcher and inventor with over two decades of experience in fusion-related energy science, advanced nuclear phenomena, and propulsion systems, will provide scientific oversight and independent judgment as the company advances its Texatron™ aneutronic fusion platform toward commercial deployment.
David has authored or co-authored more than 130 scientific publications and holds numerous patents across advanced energy systems and nuclear science. His career includes sustained engagement in fusion-adjacent research, participation in international conferences on fusion energy and low-energy nuclear reactions, and a focus on experimental validation and intellectual property development. He previously served as a Partner and Board Member of DEUO Dynamics in the United Kingdom, where he contributed to governance and strategic oversight of fusion research initiatives, and also founded a photovoltaic solar distribution business, providing experience in clean-energy commercialization.
“Independent scientific oversight is critical as we advance toward commercialization. Fabrice’s background reflects decades of disciplined research and intellectual rigor across fusion-adjacent systems and advanced energy technologies. His perspective supports our commitment to long-term value creation, strong governance, and responsible innovation,” said Richard Hawkins, Chairman and CEO of Renewal Fuels, Inc.
The appointment comes as American Fusion progresses multiple initiatives, including additional patent filings for the Texatron™ platform and preparation of its Form 10 registration statement under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which is now substantially complete. The company expects to file the Form 10 with the SEC next week, pending receipt of required EDGAR access codes. The PCAOB audit for fiscal years 2024 and 2025 is nearing completion, with only one audit item remaining. The company is also progressing its corporate action with FINRA related to its name change to American Fusion Inc.
“Fabrice brings deep scientific credibility and long-standing engagement in fusion-related research. His experience across experimental validation, intellectual property development, and international scientific collaboration strengthens our Board as we continue building a scalable fusion energy platform,” said Brent Nelson, CEO of Kepler Fusion Technologies, the wholly owned subsidiary developing the Texatron™ platform.
