Fusion energy holds the prospect of an energy source that is clean, safe, affordable and limitless. It will transform the global energy system. Today, around $1.5 billion in private capital has been invested in companies that are working on transformative approaches to fusion. Annually, even more than that is spent on fusion research by governments around the world. However, just achieving a scientific demonstration of fusion power will not be enough on its own to transition the global energy system. It will require innovations in the legal, regulatory, commercial and political spheres to support the massive deployment of fusion power that we know will be necessary to meet the global challenges of climate change and energy scarcity. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue ‘Prospects for high gain inertial fusion energy (part 1)'.

惯性聚变能的政治和商业前景

聚变能源拥有清洁、安全、负担得起和无限的能源前景。它将改变全球能源系统。如今,约有 15 亿美元的私人资本投资于致力于采用变革性核聚变方法的公司。每年,世界各国政府在核聚变研究上的花费甚至更多。然而,仅仅实现聚变能力的科学论证并不足以实现全球能源体系的转型。这将需要在法律、监管、商业和政治领域进行创新,以支持大规模部署聚变能源,我们知道这对于应对气候变化和能源短缺的全球挑战是必要的。本文是讨论会议问题“高增益惯性聚变能的前景(第 1 部分)”的一部分。
