Novatron
Novatron is a new technology for commercial fusion energy production. The team behind it has found one of the final pieces needed to quickly make clean inexpensive base-load energy a reality and eliminate our reliance on fossil fuels.
Early stage
Fusion reactors for large-scale fossil free energy production
Novatron’s technology aims to make commercial development and construction of fusion energy power plants economically viable at a fraction of the cost of current methods.
The need
The global demand for energy is rapidly rising, making the shift from dependence on fossil fuels or waste-generating nuclear fission power an enormous challenge. Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar, are important but cannot yet provide the reliable energy source we need.
The solution
Fusion power has the capacity to provide a limitless supply of clean, reliable and affordable energy for generations to come. The NOVATRON concept – an innovative reactor solution for stable magnetic plasma confinement – has been theoretically and numerically demonstrated to minimise problems with plasma instabilities that have obstructed the commercial advancement of fusion power. The first reactor is being developed by leading physicists, engineers and academics in Stockholm, Sweden.
The value proposition
- Safe – no long-term radioactive waste and accompanying disposal problems; no risk of catastrophic failure.
- No carbon emissions.
- High energy efficiency.
- Low cost.
- Reliable base power.
- Abundant fuel supply.
- Streamlining of nuclear engineering and reduction of the current capital and operational cost of future fusion reactors in process.
