HELMHOLTZ PROGRAM

The Fusion program is part of the Helmholtz Research Field "Energy". The scientists in this Research Field are working on a climate-neutral energy supply that is economically and socially sustainable. They pursue this aim by researching and developing innovative conversion, distribution, and storage technologies and devising solutions for a cross-sector energy system.

Fusion

Programme compact

The Fusion programme aims to help harness nuclear fusion, a nearly inexhaustible source of energy. The interdisciplinary activities are “plasma theory” and “fusion power plant”. The programme’s goal is to establish the scientific and technological foundation for a fusion power plant. Two of its key projects are the ITERand Wendelstein 7-X facilities.
