Fusion Energy
Fusion energy research aims to replicate the stellar process of nuclear fusion on Earth, fusing hydrogen isotopes to produce abundant, low-carbon electricity. The construction of ITER in France represents the largest scientific collaboration in history, designed to demonstrate net energy gain from a tokamak. In parallel, private ventures like Commonwealth Fusion Systems are pursuing compact tokamaks using high-temperature superconducting magnets to accelerate the timeline to commercial fusion. In 2022 the National Ignition Facility achieved fusion ignition for the first time, a historic milestone for inertial confinement. Fusion energy could provide baseload power with minimal fuel supply chains and virtually no long-lived radioactive waste.
