First Light Fusion welcomes the Government’s announcement today that it will invest an initial £220 million over four years into STEP to help develop a commercially viable fusion power plant by 2040. First Light Fusion believes this is the kind of foresight and intent that is needed to ensure the world meets its net zero targets.

First Light Fusion, an Oxford-based global leader in researching energy generation via inertial fusion, and Mott MacDonald, a global engineering, management and development consultancy, are working together to produce a design vision of a “first of a kind” (FOAK) commercial fusion reactor.

Achieving a zero carbon global energy system by 2050 is achievable but will require significant investment in both existing renewables and new clean energy technologies. That’s the conclusion of a new analysis into energy supply and demand commissioned by fusion energy pioneer First Light Fusion.

First Light Fusion, the fusion energy company spun out from the University of Oxford, will be demonstrating the potential for British technology to tackle climate change in Vancouver.

FIRST Light Fusion, the University of Oxford spin out researching energy generation via inertial fusion, has successfully completed building and testing of its unique pulsed power device, dubbed Machine 3.

One of the world’s leading centres of fusion energy research and First Light Fusion, Oxford University’s fusion spin-out, are collaborating on a project to convert fusion reactions into heat to enable clean power production.

RESPECTED former UK Government Chief Scientific Advisor Sir David King, FRS, has joined the advisory board of First Light Fusion. The appointment further strengthens the Oxford-based research company’s capabilities.

FIRST Light Fusion, an Oxford-based global leader in researching energy generation via inertial confinement fusion, is investing £3.6 million building a pulsed power machine to advance the company’s work exploring fusion, the ultimate source of energy.
