This week, our team has been at the Sustainable Markets Initiative (SMI) Terra Carta Exhibition, celebrating five years since His Majesty King Charles III founded the SMI to accelerate the transition to a sustainable future. Terra Carta is the SMI’s ten-year roadmap for the private sector, which places nature, people, and planet at the heart of global value creation. The summit also highlights the SMI’s Astra Carta, aiming to ensure that humanity’s journey prioritises #sustainability. At Tokamak Energy, we have the technology and expertise to tackle one of the greatest challenges and opportunities for a sustainable future: delivering #fusion as a clean, limitless, and secure power source for future generations. We showcased our virtual reality tokamak and pioneering high-temperature #superconducting (HTS) technology. Developed from our fusion energy mission, this transformative technology not only paves the way for commercial fusion but also enhances performance and decarbonisation in industries such as scientific research, transport, renewable energy, and power distribution.

To deliver #fusion power as a clean, limitless energy source for the future, we need to develop 'fusion blankets' to capture the energy from fusion reactions. We are delighted to be working with Idaho National Laboratory (INL) on this essential technology as part of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) $107 million Fusion Innovative Research Engine (FIRE) initiative. Our work with INL and other partners will help ensure the tests have maximum commercial relevance, accelerating the development of this crucial technology in the U.S. #FusionForAll

Fusion is at a pivotal moment as it moves from R&D to delivery. Following the Fusion Industry Association's Annual Policy Meeting in Washington DC, Tokamak Energy Inc. President, Michael Ginsberg, EngScD, is speaking this week at #CERAWeek in Houston, which brings together leaders from the energy industry, government, and academia to discuss critical issues and trends shaping the future of energy. We now have the essential enablers for fusion energy technology: high-temperature #superconductors to contain the plasma and AI to accelerate materials and plasma control. With the increasing demand for energy and the need for #energysecurity, fusion offers the potential for clean, limitless, and secure energy for generations to come. The pressing question is, "how to move to commercial delivery?" This was a key focus of the FIA’s policy conference. Here are some of Michael's takeaways: • Advancing from R&D to commercial reality: Achieving a new energy source requires the combined will, efforts and cooperation of governments, private industry, and investors. • Creating value along the way: Commercialising spin-out technologies builds credibility, attracts investment and drives technological advancements. • Building the supply chain: Collaborating with industrial partners and end users helps establish the supply chain and subsystems needed for fusion plants, while also fostering confidence and credibility. • Designing superior technologies: Emerging technologies should be designed to be significantly better than existing ones, offering benefits including lower costs, fewer environmental impacts, and greater, or more reliable, energy output. At Tokamak Energy, we’re developing the technology and building the partnerships to commercialise #fusion and our high-temperature superconducting (HTS) technology. Our recently announced ST40 upgrade, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, exemplifies how the US-UK fusion partnership can advance technology and expertise more swiftly and effectively. Through our TE Magnetics business division, we’re leading the development of HTS technology for fusion and other exciting applications, including renewable energy, power distribution, mobility, and security. The momentum behind fusion is building. Now is the time to seize the opportunity. #FusionForAll #Limitless #FusionEnergy #EnergyTransition #EnergySecurity

As the global momentum for fusion continues to grow, we’re delighted to join the European Fusion Association to advance our mission of ‘Fusion For All’. We believe that commercial #fusion energy will be achieved through partnership and collaboration. In addition to expanding our U.S. operations and establishing a new subsidiary in Japan, our membership in the EFA will enable us to connect with partners across Europe, helping to build a robust, world-class European fusion supply chain and make #fusionenergy a reality in Europe ⚡ #FusionForAll #Limitless #EnergyTransition

Celebrating UNESCO World Engineering Day For Sustainable Development and UK #NationalCareersWeek allows us to spotlight the crucial role of #engineering in advancing #fusionenergy and our pioneering high temperature #superconducting (HTS) technology.    Our mission, 'Fusion for All,' represents the ultimate challenge and opportunity for sustainable development: delivering a new source of limitless, clean, and secure energy for future generations. Our TE Magnetics team is leading the development of transformative HTS technology for #fusion and other exciting applications, including analytical science, renewable energy, power distribution, and propulsion on land, and in water, air, and space.   Join us in tackling one of humanity's greatest challenges. Check out the fantastic #engineering opportunities on our careers page and be part of developing the commercial fusion and superconducting technology that could help protect the planet and ensure energy security for all ⚡   👇 https://lnkd.in/eRaa4ZC9   #FusionForAll #Limitless #Innovation #EnergyTransition

This week, we're in Washington DC for the Fusion Industry Association's annual policy meeting. It's a fantastic opportunity for leaders from government, industry, science, and academia to come together and discuss tangible ways to accelerate commercial fusion. Dr Michael Ginsberg, EngScD, President Tokamak Energy Inc., joined other fusion leaders on the ‘United States and United Kingdom Partnership Panel’, alongside Dr Jean Paul Allain from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Saskia Mordijck, Oladipo Okusaga, and Tristram Denton (FIA UK). Our team of Michael Ginsberg, EngScD, Christian Lowis, and Aaron L. W., met with policymakers, fusion developers, and partners such as General Atomics, United States Energy Association, Kyoto Fusioneering, UK Atomic Energy Authority, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Idaho National Laboratory and Savannah River National Laboratory. As part of the U.S. DOE #fusion milestone program, we're designing a fusion pilot plant to demonstrate net energy output in the 2030s. We're partnering with US national labs and universities to accelerate progress. Recently, we announced a partnership with the U.S. DOE and UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to advance crucial technologies for future fusion power plants through a $52 million upgrade program on our record-breaking ST40 spherical tokamak. This collaboration builds on the strategic fusion partnership announced by the U.S. and UK governments in 2023, allowing our collaborators at universities and national labs in both countries to benefit from cutting-edge research on ST40. We believe that partnerships like these are essential for delivering fusion as a new source of clean, limitless, and secure energy ⚡ #FusionForAll #FusionEnergy #Limitless #EnergySecurity

Our 2025 ST40 campaign is up and running! It may look like a sprinkling of fairy dust, but this #plasma pulse shows boron being introduced into the plasma via our new impurity powder dropper (IPD). Boron is used in the tokamak for wall conditioning, creating a protective layer on the first wall and preventing unwanted impurities like oxygen from entering the plasma. With the IPD, we can investigate the impact of light impurities on the plasma edge. Dropping boron will also reinforce the boron coating in areas where the plasma contacts with the walls. In the future, we plan to use the IPD with lithium to explore its effects on edge and pedestal properties, recycling, and core confinement.   Our main aim for this campaign, which runs until June, is to maximise the #fusion ‘triple product’, a key measure of plasma performance that includes temperature, density, and energy confinement time. ST40 has already achieved the highest triple product of any spherical tokamak (ST). Along with our record 100 million degrees plasma ion temperature - the threshold for fusion energy - this peer-reviewed result places ST plasma physics in the same region as larger conventional tokamaks, achieved in significantly less time and at a lower cost. It demonstrates the exciting potential of the ST pathway to clean, limitless, and secure #fusionenergy ⚡ #FusionForAll #Limitless #Innovation #CleanEnergyTransition
