Abstract

Since the discovery of the atom, fusion energy has been a promise of a world of unlimited clean energy, unlocking a new era of civilisation. New technological and scientific advancements are bringing us to the cusp of this era, with both public and private organisations investing in different pathways to achieve net energy gain. In this presentation, we’ll be looking at the recent milestones reached by national laboratories, the private companies making deals with industry for grid scale power this decade, and what it will mean for Australia’s energy investments.
