fusion energy
The UK Atomic Energy Authority has unveiled a ‘robotic snake’ to support fusion energy plants in environments hazardous to humans
It will support 259 projects across 38 states that cover security and resilience, renewable energy, energy storage, carbon capture and conversion and fusion energy
Oxford-based firm Tokamak Energy has said it reached a plasma temperature of 100 million degrees Celsius
Researchers produced 59 megajoules of sustained fusion energy, more than double the previous record in 1997
His Royal Highness witnessed the largest operating tokamak in action and discussed the low carbon energy mix of the future
Commonwealth Fusion Systems will use part of the financing to start work on ARC, the first commercial fusion power plant
The funding has been awarded to 15 different organisations to accelerate the development of commercial fusion energy to boost low carbon technologies
Scientists and engineers will speak later today at the conference to world leaders, persuading them of the power fusion energy can provide in the net zero transition – but what is it?
The plant is anticipated to start operations in the early 2040s
