CCFE is leading the race to fusion power plants with the Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production project.
Our scientists and engineers are making fusion a viable technology for the power stations of tomorrow.
Developing compact reactors and exploring plasma exhaust – one of fusion’s biggest challenges.
Operating the world’s most powerful fusion experiment at Culham for scientists around Europe.
Providing the building blocks for fusion power with a world-leading physics programme.
More than 80% of the world’s energy comes from fossil fuels. Climate change and diminishing fuel reserves mean the race is on to find alternative, sustainable technologies to supply a growing global population. With no greenhouse gas emissions, inherent safety features and virtually limitless fuels, fusion could have a key role to play in the energy market of the future.
Culham Centre for Fusion Energy is the UK’s national fusion research laboratory. From theoretical physics to operating two major experiments and carrying out advanced reactor engineering, we lead the world in putting this transformative energy technology on the grid.
