For billions of years, the stars have been powered by fusion energy. Now, it’s time for fusion energy to power our future.
Fusion energy is no longer a distant dream – it’s a scientific breakthrough on the verge of reality. But innovation alone won’t bring fusion to our grids.
We need vision. We need policy. We need European and national strategies to turn potential into power.
In the Danish newspaper Berlingske, our CEO, Anders C. Wulff, together with Søren Bang Korsholm from DTU – Technical University of Denmark and Henrik Bindslev from Faculty of Engineering, University of Southern Denmark, highlight why Denmark must develop a national fusion energy strategy to integrate fusion into our future sustainable energy system.
Our neighbours, including Germany and the UK, are already advancing long-term fusion strategies. Denmark has the world-class expertise in academia and industry necessary to play a key role in the development of fusion – benefiting not only our energy sector but society as a whole. And most importantly, it will deliver safe, limitless, clean, and sustainable energy – working in synergy with wind and solar energy – to secure the green transition.
Realising fusion energy is a regional challenge, and with a Danish national strategy we can join leading European countries in positioning Europe as a global leader in fusion energy and strengthen Europe’s energy independence in times of geopolitical uncertainty.
