Stellarator fusion de-risked by W7-X validation and HTS magnets, enabling steady-state baseload power

The 2022 full-power success of the W7-X stellarator at Max Planck Institute proved the physics basis for stellarators, eliminating the last major physics drawback (high-energy particle conf…

Stellarator fusion path de-risked: W7-X validation enables engineering-first approach to commercial power by late 2030s

The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator achieved full-power operation in 2022, retiring the last major physics risk (high-energy particle confinement). Proxima now pursues an engineering-first path…

Fusion as dispatchable baseload complement to solar/wind lowers total system cost despite higher LCOE

Fusion does not need to beat photovoltaics on LCOE; it needs to complement intermittent renewables by providing dispatchable gigawatt-scale power so the overall energy system becomes cheape…

HTS tape supply chain concentrated in Japan with China rising; Europe must develop sovereign capacity for fusion

High-temperature superconducting tape — the critical material for fusion magnets — is currently dominated by Japanese suppliers, with China scaling rapidly. Europe and the US have nascent e…
