a Seattle-based start-up company developing a next-generation modular nuclear reactor with an innovative approach to advancing cost-effective, flexible, and commercially scalable fusion. Viable fusion energy approaches must confine high-temperature plasmas at sufficient density for long durations. Resources. “

And scientists and engineers have continued to study the sun’s fusion process in hopes of one day using nuclear fusion to generate heat or electricity. Fission waste by-products need to be disposed of safely, and they remain radioactive for thousands of years. But these generators convert heat to electricity at roughly 7.5

Interest in fusion energy is surging today in response to the world’s desperate need for abundant clean power. However, the standard deuterium-tritium (D-T) reaction at the core of conventional fusion reactors conceals big, long-term problems. They also produce little or no radioactive waste.

The new concept was developed by MIT Energy Initiative and Plasma Fusion and Science Center research scientist Daniel Cohn and principal research engineer Leslie Bromberg. If run on pure methanol or ethanol derived from renewable sources such as agricultural waste or municipal trash, the net greenhouse gas emissions could even be zero.

Currently, greater amounts of aluminum must be produced than are needed because of manufacturing waste and scrap inefficiencies that increase energy consumption and lead to higher costs to end consumers. This project will optimize gas turbine combustors by developing and validating surrogate models using CFD. VAST Power Systems, Inc.

In addition, this year’s call sought to promote submissions on two particular themes: natural gas monetization and materials for energy. They can thus be optimized for applications such as carbon capture, wastewater filtration, and natural gas storage, and for use in devices including fuel cells, rechargeable batteries, and solar cells.
