Abstract
Fusion energy will be the next great breakthrough for humankind. So we’re building a prototype fusion power plant. By 2040.
STEP Fusion is a UK-led, world-leading programme. It’s bringing government and industry together to develop fusion energy, scale it, and then deliver it at pace. Our mission is to generate net energy from fusion and to stimulate an industry that will help prove its commercial viability. We’ll achieve this by producing a prototype tokamak powerplant – in an innovative spherical shape – to provide energy to the grid.
Come and hear about one of the UK's most significant national programmes - one with huge potential for jobs, skills and economic growth, as well as a chance to secure limitless clean energy for the world.
A briefing presentation, followed by a panel discussion on challenges and opportunities, supply chain and industry, policy and investment, plus Q&A from the floor.
