The Promise of Fusion Energy
The U of A is leading the next frontier in fusion energy – the process that powers the sun, fusing hydrogen atoms under extreme heat and pressure – to deliver a clean, safe, sustainable and virtually limitless energy source here on Earth. Recent projections cite that fusion commercialization could boost global GDP by $68 trillion and generate a trillion-dollar energy industry. With fusion energy at the core of the U of A’s research and strategic imperatives, this is the right place at the right time for fusion breakthroughs, commercialization and workforce development.
