The Goal

This book will describe the status of Fusion Energy Research & Development, with a focus on (market) opportunities. We think of this field as “Transitioning to a better global energy supply system.”

Five main points

The idea behind the publication

We aim to collect relevant stakeholder opinions on Fusion Energy/Technology.

We want to structure, nurture, and perpetuate the international debate on Fusion Energy/Technology.

Our plan is to publish a book written in a sound, scientific style, which is at the same time understandable for a broader audience of stakeholders, especially those who are important to the decision-making processes (politicians, media, scientists, civil society representatives, citizen scientists and many more …).

We think that the time is right for public-relations activities around Fusion Energy/Technology, in the run-up to ITER First Plasma in 2025. This endeavor will promote the whole debate of finding a pathway to a more diversified energy mix for the future.

Our mission

Drawing on various energy sources, policy issues, relationships between industry & science, essential research, and market opportunities, this publication will be successful because its content will address the topic in all its complexity. Readers will all get a better understanding of the perspectives that come along with Fusion Energy/Technology.

Book Chapters

Chapter one: The Big Picture
Transitioning the Future of Energy – description of the need for a mix of energy sources.

Chapter two: The Governance of Big Science within different political Landscapes
It is always a challenge to build, establish and maintain large-scale scientific projects. What are the lessons learned for political decisions – a comparison of various cases and world projects.

Chapter three: The Scientific Know-How behind Fusion Energy/Technology
From materials science to additive manufacturing technologies to irradiation and safety.

Chapter four: Science to Business
This is all about the question – how big can the economic impact be?

Chapter five: The Outlook for Humankind
Never end a story without a view to where it leads.

Annex: The Marketplace
The competences of companies involved in Fusion Energy / Technology are assembled.
