# FUSION REACTORS. Fusion Reactors is developing a fusion reactor to deliver electricity to the grid from fusion energy. Climate change and energy demand are the defining challenges of our time. We'd like you to help us build and deploy the right solution, fusion energy. We are causing Climate Change because we are burning fossil fuels to meet our energy needs. We cannot solve Climate Change by reducing our energy consumption! ## FUSION. ### FUSION. Fusion energy is the energy released when light nuclei fuse (join) together. ### FUSION - PRIVATE SECTOR. Approximately 40 private companies globally are racing to achieve commercial fusion for electricity. This is the seminal change introduced to fusion in the last 20 years by the private sector, namely that more designs are being looked at. ### Fusion Reactors. We will rapidly converge to the optimal fusion reactor design to deliver fusion electricity in time to make a difference.

The global energy landscape is increasingly challenged by rising demands and the urgent need for sustainable solutions, highlighting the importance of exploring alternative energy sources like fusion. This study reviews recent advancements in fusion technology, demonstrating its potential to provide a clean, virtually limitless energy source while addressing significant environmental concerns and contributing to global carbon reduction goals. Fusion technology can conserve more energy than both fossil fuels and renewable sources. This review paper examines the advancements in fusion energy research and the challenges facing its potential as a global energy source. A significant challenge in fusion energy research is achieving the “breakeven” point, where the energy generated from fusion reactions equals or surpasses the energy input required to sustain them [19:1851–64. Global fusion research receives support from initiatives like the EU’s Horizon 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E, and private investments from companies like CFS and TAE Technologies [33:1–15.

# Fusion Energy. Fusion is an advanced energy source with the potential to produce abundant, zero-emissions power around the world. Paving the way for fusion commercialization could allow us to integrate this carbon-free, firm source into the energy mix, and potentially revolutionize how we power the global economy. ## How does fusion energy work? Fusion energy has the potential to provide:. ### The latest on fusion energy. ### Releasing the potential of fusion energy. * Contribute to the development of a global fusion energy industry. Position fusion as a climate technology needed in the net-zero industry while advocating for adequate policies that enable the development of fusion as a safe and commercially viable source of energy. That’s why Clean Air Task Force initiated an international working group and collaborated with the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s – Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD-NEA), to launch **MatDB4Fusion**: a next-generation, community-driven materials database designed to support the development and deployment of fusion energy. ### What are fusion energy’s benefits?

What is the potential role and value of fusion power plants (FPPs) in such a future electric power system — a system that is not only free of carbon emissions but also capable of meeting the dramatically increased global electricity demand expected in the coming decades? The value of having FPPs available on an electric grid will depend on what other options are available, so to perform their analyses, the researchers needed estimates of the future cost and performance of those options, including conventional fossil fuel generators, nuclear fission power plants, VRE generators, and energy storage technologies, as well as electricity demand for specific regions of the world. And for companies developing fusion technologies, the study’s message is clearly stated in the report: “If the cost and performance targets identified in this report can be achieved, our analysis shows that fusion energy can play a major role in meeting future electricity needs and achieving global net-zero carbon goals.”.

**CLICK HERE** to register for the 3rd Public-Private Fusion Workshop at ITER (28-29 April 2026). # Advantages of fusion. **Millions of years**: Fusion in ITER will require two elements: deuterium and tritium. (Terrestrial reserves of lithium would permit the operation of fusion power plants for more than 1,000 years, while sea-based reserves of lithium, used in a fusion reactor in its Li-6 isotope form, would fulfil needs for millions of years.) A critical challenge is how to breed and recover tritium reliably in a fusion device. (Radioactive tritium is neither a fissile nor a fissionable material.) There are no enriched materials in a fusion reactor like ITER that could be exploited to make nuclear weapons. As a new source of carbon-free baseload electricity, producing no long-lived radioactive waste, fusion could make a positive contribution to the challenges of resource availability, reduced carbon emissions, and fission waste disposal and safety issues. ### What is Fusion? ITER is charting new territory in fusion research.

Fusion can help us power carbon capture facilities that are currently out of reach since to power them we would emit more than they pull out.

Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. ## What’s the difference between nuclear fission and nuclear fusion? Both fusion and fission reactions shift the size of the reactant nuclei towards higher bounded nuclei. ## Does Fusion produce radioactive nuclear waste the same way fission does? Fusion on the other hand does not create any long-lived radioactive nuclear waste. A fusion reactor produces helium, which is an inert gas. ## Can fusion cause a nuclear accident? No, because fusion energy production is not based on a chain reaction, as is fission. ## Can fusion reactors be used to produce weapons? Working conditions of a magnetically-confined fusion reactor require a limited amount of fuel in the reactor. ## When is electricity generated through fusion expected to be available? At present, fusion devices produce more than ten megawatts of fusion power. ITER will be capable of producing 500 megawatts of fusion power. A prototype of a fusion reactor (DEMO) is expected to be built by 2040.
