Implementation of activities described in the Roadmap to Fusion during Horizon 2020 through a Joint programme of the members of the EUROfusion consortium.

Fusion is the process that powers stars like the Sun. On Earth, it promises a safe and near-limitless clean energy source. For instance, fusion energy would generate huge amounts of energy from mere grams of abundant fuels found worldwide. In this context, the EU-funded EUROfusion project will bring together dozens of experts, students and facilities from across Europe to achieve the European fusion roadmap, which provides a clear and structured way forward to commercial energy from fusion. Based on the updated roadmap, the project will help move from lab to industry with the design, construction and operation of a demonstration fusion power plant (DEMO). The aim is to deliver fusion electricity to the grid early in the second half of the century.
