Why fusion?
Fusion energy originates from the same fundamental process that powers the sun and stars, occurring when light atomic nuclei combine under conditions of extreme temperature and pressure, releasing enormous amounts of energy.
The ultimate energy solution: cleaner, safer and sustainable
In contrast to nuclear fission, which produces energy by splitting heavy nuclei, fusion combines light nuclei, resulting in a reaction that is intrinsically safer and produces significantly less radioactive byproducts. The primary fusion fuels, such as isotopes of hydrogen extracted from seawater, are widely abundant, enabling a long-term and scalable energy supply.
Furthermore, fusion power generation emits no greenhouse gases during operation and does not generate high-level, long-lived radioactive waste. As an advanced energy technology, fusion has the potential to provide reliable, large-scale energy for millions of years while addressing global energy security and environmental sustainability challenges.
