The investment is reinforced by a partnership between KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Novatron Fusion Group and EIT InnoEnergy, with the aim of taking fusion together into a future global large-scale green energy source. The partnership will build a new test facility to validate Novatron Fusion Group鈥檚 unique approach to plasma confinement and conduct research and education in the area. The goal is to demonstrate within the coming year that stable plasma can be achieved 鈥� a fundamental prerequisite for achieving stable and continuous fusion. Long term, the vision is to have a commercial fusion design that enables net-power to the energy grid in the final stage before 2040.
Peter Roos, CEO at Novatron Fusion Group comments:听鈥淔usion power has long been suggested as the technology breakthrough needed to support reaching with the global shift to net zero goals. However, it has also struggled to be proven technically and commercially viable. We believe our innovation is the key to unlocking the large-scale production of energy through fusion.鈥�
Novatron Fusion Group aims to make commercial development and construction of fusion energy power plants economically viable at a fraction of the cost of current methods, providing access to large-scale clean, safe, sustainable, and stable energy production for the benefit of all, supporting with Europe鈥檚 move to reach their Green Deal targets.
Diego Pavia, CEO of EIT InnoEnergy adds:听鈥淏eating climate change demands big-impact innovations, and these innovations require resources and investment to scale them. Novatron Fusion Group is one of the many examples of EIT InnoEnergy supporting in this way, accelerating progress to net zero. . Fusion power is a crucial base-load solution in听 our zero-carbon journey. It is for that reason, I am greatly excited about the impact Novatron Fusion Group鈥檚 unique solution could have on industry by making fusion a reality.鈥�
Stefan 脰stlund, vice-president for global relations at KTH added: 鈥淲e are delighted to be collaborating once again with EIT InnoEnergy. Having successfully worked together in many areas including innovation and education, our latest joint ambitions for fusion technology have the potential to develop into something truly valuable.”
