Fusion Market Perspectives Fusion Power Associates 40 th annual meeting 2019 Carbon budget of

Fusion Market Perspectives Fusion Power Associates 40 th annual meeting 2019 Carbon budget of post-Paris agreement age will run out after 2040, if majority of the countries would be honest. Carbon Removal is more critical than fossil fuels. While Clean electricity can be supplied various options, very few Alternative Fuel are known. Further, Carbon Isolation is more serious, precious Resource for future. . . Electricity may be sold, but cheap. Grid Parity/Stability, Alternative Fuel, and Ultimate Disposal of Carbon have stronger demands. Fusion may provide a solution for this issue.

Conclusion Fusion Power Associates 40 th annual meeting 2019 Kyoto Fusioneering assists fusion challengers

Conclusion Fusion Power Associates 40 th annual meeting 2019 Kyoto Fusioneering assists fusion challengers through engineering solutions for the energy demonstration. We provide not only device or design, but integrated consultation to assist efficient power demonstration. Through the development, transfer of skills and experience from senior to young generation is intended. Open Innovation by the combination of various industry and research facilities (some reused) are expected. Kyoto Fusioneering proposes fusion technology options responding to future energy/environmental needs.
