Investors found extremely promising obtaining as a result of thermonuclear synthesis “green” energy, which can save the planet from a global environmental catastrophe. In 2020, 300 million dollars were invested in this technology, and the United States intends to allocate $ 4.7 billion on its development. Reports about it Bloomberg.
If earlier, with the help of thermonuclear synthesis, scientists have created hydrogen bombs, now the technology is used to obtain “green” energy. Investors, among which are the oil and gas giants of Eni, Cenovus, Chevron, are actively investing money in it.
The company for creating the Bermonuclear energy Tae Technologies, located in California, attracted $ 130 million in 2021. And the British enterprise First Light Fusion in 2020 gathered about $ 25 million to create a thermonuclear reactor. With the support of Jeff Beza, the Canadian company General Fusion plans to build a factory for the production of thermonuclear energy in the UK, which should start work by 2025.
The theme of thermonuclear synthesis caused such an excitement that the Federal Government of the United States allocated $ 4.7 billion on the development of new technology and related scientific developments. Of these, 1.5 billion dollars are intended for the International Experimental Termonary Reactor ITER. The cost of the project is $ 25 billion, 35 countries are working in the south of France. In 2020, the reactor development was completed, and in 2021 its construction was completed by 70 percent.
In February 2021, the US National Sciences Academy published a report in which he recommended that the Ministry of Energy and the private sector produce clean electricity on the experimental thermal network in 2035-2040. However, scientists have yet to ensure that in the process of thermonuclear energy reaction more than was absorbed.
