Who is leading the global fusion energy race?

Fusion energy is moving from science fiction to commercial reality, driven by focused government strategies, increasing private investment, and a range of technological breakthroughs.

To identify the leaders in the race to harness this limitless source of clean power, Pamela Largue speaks with Andrew Holland, Chief Executive Officer of the Fusion Industry Association. Holland highlights the technologies showing the greatest promise, from tokamaks and stellarators to inertial confinement and laser fusion.

He explores the developments making fusion commercially viable and outlines what must happen next to ensure scalable supply chains, fit-for-purpose regulation, and public acceptance.

As the world grapples with an energy security crisis, Holland also emphasises fusion’s potential role in reducing countries’ energy dependence on one another — a key step toward separating energy from geopolitics.
