Fusion promises an energy-dense, continuous source of green energy, while avoiding the risks of meltdown, long-lived radioactive waste, and proliferation associated with its cousin, nuclear fission. But how realistic are the plans of commercial fusion companies to generate energy from fusion within the decade, and what could be the potential pitfalls?
In this webinar, IDTechEx outlines why fusion energy has received a recent surge of commercial interest and the likelihood of commercial fusion power being viable before 2045. This webinar explores the leading commercial approaches, including tokamaks, stellarators, laser-driven inertial confinement fusion, and more.
Key aspects covered in this webinar include:
- Review of the principles of fusion energy and the drivers behind the industry's rapid growth.
- Technical overview of the fusion energy market landscape.
- Analysis of the leading approaches to achieving commercial fusion.
- Discussion of the critical materials for fusion and the challenges for the supply chain of key components.
