Our CEO Warrick Matthews is currently with a team from Tokamak Energy at FusionX Group's FusionXInvest event in Silicon Valley, California, which brings together the #fusion industry with the global investment community. Yesterday, Warrick joined representatives from other leading fusion companies on a panel discussing “Building Value on the Path to Commercialisation”, exploring the incredible commercial opportunities as fusion energy transitions from R&D to delivery.   It's an exciting time to be in fusion. At Tokamak Energy, we’re developing the technology and building the global partnerships to deliver #fusionenergy, including signing an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of the United States’ bold decadal vision for delivering commercial fusion. Through our TE Magnetics business division, we’re also a world leader in high temperature #superconducting (HTS) #magnets. This transformative technology not only unlocks the pathway to fusion energy but has huge commercial potential in analytical #science, #medicine, #renewableenergy and propulsion on land, and in water, air and space.   Joining Warrick at the event are President of Tokamak Energy Inc., Michael Ginsberg, EngScD, our CFO Anita Breslin (Slater), and Director of TE Magnetics, Dr Liam Brennan.   #FusionForAll #Limitless #CleanEnergyTransition

Fusion for All: Our international mission is gathering momentum. We're proud to have strengthened our long-standing relationship with Japan by establishing a subsidiary, Tokamak Energy K.K., in Tokyo. #Fusion is rapidly becoming a key part of Japan's energy solution. Their Fusion Energy Innovation Strategy aims to commercialise #fusionenergy to achieve vital #energysecurity and #decarbonisation goals, encouraging private sector R&D. Over the past few years, we've built a strong network of partners in Japan, including FURUKAWA ELECTRIC GROUP, the The University of Tokyo, Kyoto Fusioneering, and Sumitomo Corporation. We're also part of the FAST (Fusion by Advanced Superconducting Tokamak) project, led by Kyoto Fusioneering, aiming for fusion-based power generation in the 2030s. Ross Morgan, Tokamak Energy’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, said: “We have firm ambitions to establish Tokamak Energy K.K. as a leading high technology business in Japan for fusion energy and our transformative high temperature #superconducting (HTS) #magnet technology. Japan expects to achieve its future energy needs through fusion, and we are here to help make that happen. This is a proud moment for the company and the start of a new chapter for our growing, global business.” Pictured at a fusion industry event at the British Embassy in Tokyo L-R: Warrick Matthews, Greg Brittles, Ross Morgan, Yuichi Takase.

We’re celebrating International Day of Women and Girls in Science #IDWGS with the theme ‘Unpacking STEM Careers: Her Voice In Science’! It’s also #National Apprenticeship Week in the UK with the focus on 'Skills for Life'. Watch our latest #FusionPioneer video featuring Engineering Technician Apprentice Francesca Williams. She shares her #apprenticeship journey so far and talks about working on Demo4, our flagship High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) #fusion magnet system. Her advice for women and girls considering a career in #engineering: “Don’t let the fear hold you back”! Keep an eye on the ‘Early Careers’ page of our website for upcoming apprenticeship opportunities, expected to open this spring. 👇 https://lnkd.in/dVMvPUb7 #FusionForAll #FusionEnergy #FusionPioneers #Limitless #CleanEnergyTransition

We’re preparing our ST40 tokamak for a big year ahead! The vibrant colours in these images are from the boronisation process, where we coat the inner walls of the tokamak with a thin layer of boron. This conditions the walls, reducing plasma-polluting impurities and enhancing performance.   Our 2025 campaign kicks off later this month, with a focus on maximising the triple product – a crucial measure of #plasma performance that includes temperature, density and energy confinement time.   We’ve also begun installing of our new gyrotron, a key technology for heating the #fusion fuel, which we'll be testing later this year. And we’re gearing up for our recently announced $52 million ST40 upgrade programme in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, which will focus on lithium-coated plasma facing components.   All of our work with ST40 is focussed on delivering the clean, limitless #fusionenergy the world urgently needs. We can’t wait to get started!   #FusionForAll #Limitless #CleanEnergyTransition

We had a great time showing a 'hands-on' leadership team from Sky our #fusionenergy and magnet technology. Dionne Rickards was given the honour of starting a pulse in our record-breaking ST40 tokamak from the control room before witnessing a key moment in the development of our world-first high temperature superconducting (HTS) Demo4 magnet system. Devesh Raj, Sky COO, with his team of Fiona Ball and Giles Harvey, said it was "fascinating to see what you are up to" and that he "loved everyone's energy and commitment" on the tour with CEO Warrick Matthews. After recently appearing on Sky News to talk about "the wonder material which could hold the key to near-limitless energy" and the next stage of our bid to be part of the UK's STEPtoFusion project, we look forward to working together on more big moments in the future.

Economic growth must be powered by clean energy, and “the vision for #fusion is so compelling”. Following her recent visit to Tokamak Energy, UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rt Hon Rachel Reeves, was back in #Oxfordshire yesterday to announce plans for growth, including ‘unleashing the potential of the Oxford-Cambridge Growth Corridor’. Our CEO Warrick Matthews explains how investing in fusion energy can power future economic growth, offering a way out of the ‘climate dead end’. Fusion can provide the high-grade heat needed by industry and the clean electricity needed to power the data centres and high-performance computers that will underpin future growth. “The prize we’re aiming for is a $10 trillion market, and that makes fusion a great investment opportunity”, says Warrick. Fusion can “transform humanity in the future”. #FusionForAll #Limitless #CleanEnergyTransition 

One of the key challenges for #fusionenergy is protecting the high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnets, which confine and control the plasma, from the harsh conditions within a fusion power plant. We’re delighted to announce that Tokamak Energy and University of Birmingham have won an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Prosperity Partnership award to advance critical shielding technologies.   The £1 million funding from UK Research and Innovation will be used to performance-test shielding materials for HTS magnets. By combining leading research and simulation techniques, the partnership aims to deliver a spherical tokamak centre-column shield design using tungsten-based materials capable of withstanding the harsh #fusion conditions.   Itxaso Ariza, Tokamak Energy CTO, said: “Spherical tokamaks and HTS #magnets are the most efficient and cost-effective route to delivering fusion, which will transform society and industry with clean, limitless and secure energy. We’re delighted to receive this prestigious award in collaboration with our partners for a vital project to accelerate designs for our fusion energy power plant. Results from this new project will provide the necessary data and significantly advance fusion materials development.”   Prof. Arunodaya Bhattacharya, University of Birmingham, said: “Engineering knowledge of the in-service degradation of shielding materials and translating this knowledge into a robust design is fundamental to delivering a successful spherical tokamak centre-column shield. Through this partnership, we are cementing the position of the University of Birmingham as a world-leading hub of fusion excellence and as a key partner to Tokamak Energy, advancing commercial fusion efforts globally.”   Tokamak Energy and the University of Birmingham will collaborate with German research institution Forschungszentrum Jülich, the French CNRS IJCLab, University of Tennessee, Knoxville and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, U.S., throughout the FUsion REactor SHielding Materials (FURESHMA) project, with UK Atomic Energy Authority playing an advisory role.
