that powers the Sun and stars.\u00a0\r\n\r\nTokamak spun out from the UK\u2019s Atomic Energy Authority in 2009. As its name suggests, the company is building a tokamak reactor, the most common kind of fusion design, first pioneered in the 1960s. Tokamaks use giant magnets to keep plasma moving in a loop while running an electrical current through it.\u00a0\r\n\r\nThe funding brings the company\u2019s total raised to $335mn, comprising $275mn from private investors and $60mn from the UK and US governments. This makes it Europe\u2019s most well-funded private fusion energy venture.\u00a0\r\n\r\nTokamak Energy said the fresh capital will help bolster its commercialisation plans. The company aims to have its first fusion power plant up and running somewhere in the 2030s.\u00a0\r\n\r\nHowever, the funds will also go toward growing Tokamak's side hustle, TE Magnetics. The subsidiary develops superconducting magnets using rare earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tape, enabling stronger magnetic fields to confine the plasma. Superconducting magnets are in demand not just in the fusion industry but in science, mobility, and renewable energy.\r\n\r\nEast X Ventures and Lingotto Investment Management led the funding round with participation from new investors including British Patient Capital, Furukawa Electric Company, global maritime company BW Group and US-based Sabanci Climate Ventures.\r\n\r\n\u201cOur mission is to make fusion energy a reality, and we believe the only way to achieve that is through strong, global partnerships,\u201d said Tokamak Energy CEO Warrick Matthews, adding that the raise comes at a \u201ccritical\u201d and \u201cexciting\u201d time for fusion development.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\r\n\r\nTo fulfil its ambitious timeline, Tokamak is hastily developing, testing, and validating its approach using its pilot reactor \u2014 the ST40 \u2014 housed at its headquarters in Oxford. \u00a0\r\n\r\nThe ST40 is a spherical tokamak, which is more compact than traditional donut-shaped reactors like the ITER fusion plant under construction in France. According to the company, this shape allows better confinement of the super-hot plasma where fusion occurs, making the reactor smaller, cheaper, and easier to build.\u00a0 \u00a0\r\n\r\nIn 2022, the ST40 became the first privately owned fusion reactor to reach 100 million \u00b0C \u2014 six times as hot as the core of our closest star. This is generally regarded as the temperature threshold whereby fusion reactions can become self-sustaining.\u00a0\r\n\r\nDespite huge progress, fusion energy has always seemed to be that \u201c20-years-away\u201d technology. But the tides might be changing. According to a poll at the International Atomic Energy Agency\u2019s (IAEA) forum in London earlier this year, 65% of insiders think fusion will generate electricity for the grid at a viable cost by 2035, and 90% by 2040.\r\n\r\nOnce up and running, Tokamak intends for each of its reactors to produce around 500MW of clean electricity \u2014 enough to power approximately 85,000 homes.\u00a0\u00a0","dateCreated":"2024-11-20T00:01:54+00:00","description":"British scaleup Tokamak Energy has secured $125mn as it looks to harness fusion \u2014 the same clean, virtually limitless energy source that powers the Sun and stars.\u00a0\r\n\r\nTokamak spun ...","commentCount":"0","dateModified":"2024-11-20T12:05:41+00:00","copyrightYear":"2016","datePublished":"2024-11-20T00:01:54+00:00","articleSection":"Deep tech","copyrightHolder":{"@id":"https://data.thenextweb.com/tnw/entity/tnw"},"mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https://thenextweb.com/news/tokamak-energy-secures-125m-to-commercialise-fusion-power","@type":"WebPage","breadcrumb":{"@id":"#Breadcrumb"}},"sourceOrganization":{"@id":"https://data.thenextweb.com/tnw/entity/tnw"},"interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/ShareAction","interactionService":{"url":"http://www.twitter.com","name":"Twitter","@type":"Website"},"userInteractionCount":"0"},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/ShareAction","interactionService":{"url":"http://www.facebook.com","name":"Facebook","@type":"Website"},"userInteractionCount":"0"},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/ShareAction","interactionService":{"url":"https://www.reddit.com","name":"Reddit","@type":"Website"},"userInteractionCount":"0"},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":"0"}]},{"@id":"https://data.thenextweb.com/tnw/entity/funding","url":"https://thenextweb.com/topic/funding","name":"Funding","@type":"Thing","sameAs":["http://rdf.freebase.com/ns/m.03dd26","http://dbpedia.org/resource/Funding"],"@context":"http://schema.org","description":"Funding is the act of providing resources, usually in form of money, or other values such as effort or time, for a project, a person, a business, or any other private or public institutions.

powers the Sun and stars. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tokamak spun out from the UK’s Atomic Energy Authority in 2009. As its name suggests, the company is building a tokamak reactor, the most common kind of fusion design, first pioneered in the 1960s. Tokamaks use giant magnets to keep plasma moving in a loop </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">while running an electrical current through it. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a href="https://thenextweb.com/topic/funding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">funding</a> brings the company’s total raised to $335<span style="color: #0f0f0f;">mn</span>, comprising $275mn from private investors and $60mn from the UK and US governments. This makes it Europe’s most well-funded private fusion energy venture. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tokamak Energy said the fresh capital will help bolster its commercialisation plans. The company aims to have its first fusion power plant up and running somewhere in the 2030s. </span></p> <div class="inarticle-wrapper latest channel-cta hs-embed-tnw"><div id="hs-embed-tnw" class="channel-cta-wrapper"><div class="channel-cta-img"><img class="js-lazy" src="https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/tnw.events/hardfork-2018/uploads/visuals/tnw-newsletter.png"></div><noscript><img src="https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/tnw.events/hardfork-2018/uploads/visuals/tnw-newsletter.png"></noscript><div class="channel-cta-input"><p class="channel-cta-title">The 💜 of EU tech</p><p class="channel-cta-tagline">The latest rumblings from the EU tech scene, a story from our wise ol' founder Boris, and some questionable AI art.

The subsidiary develops superconducting magnets using rare earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) tape, enabling stronger magnetic fields to confine the plasma. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Superconducting magnets are in demand not just in the fusion industry but in science, mobility, and renewable energy.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">East X Ventures and Lingotto Investment Management led the funding round with participation from new investors including British Patient Capital, Furukawa Electric Company, global maritime company BW Group and US-based Sabanci Climate Ventures.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Our mission is to make fusion energy a reality, and we believe the only way to achieve that is through strong, global partnerships,” said Tokamak Energy CEO Warrick Matthews, adding that the raise comes at a “critical” and “exciting” time for fusion development. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To fulfil its ambitious timeline, Tokamak is hastily </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">developing, testing, and validating its approach using its pilot reactor — the ST40 — housed at its headquarters in Oxford. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The ST40 is a spherical tokamak, which is more compact than traditional donut-shaped reactors like the <a href="https://thenextweb.com/news/worlds-largest-fusion-reactor-hit-by-more-delays-and-spiralling-costs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ITER fusion plant</a> under construction in France. According to the company, this shape allows better confinement of the super-hot plasma where fusion occurs, making the reactor smaller, cheaper, and easier to build. </span><b> </b></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022, the ST40 became the first privately owned fusion reactor to reach 100 million </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">°C — six times as hot as the core of our closest star</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">. This is generally regarded as the temperature threshold whereby fusion reactions can become self-sustaining. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Despite huge progress, fusion energy has always seemed to be that “20-years-away” technology. But the tides might be changing. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">According to a poll at the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) forum in London earlier this year, 65% of insiders think </span><a href="https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/03/13/nuclear-fusion-energy-britain-grid-sooner-than-you-think/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fusion will generate electricity</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> for the grid at a viable cost by 2035, and 90% by 2040.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Once up and running, </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tokamak intends for each of its reactors to produce around 500MW of clean electricity — enough to power approximately 85,000 homes. </span></p> </div> <aside class="c-contributor latest"> <a href="/author/sion" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-event-category="Article" data-event-action="Author" data-event-label="Siôn Geschwindt" data-event-non-interaction="false" > <img alt="Siôn Geschwindt" class="c-contributor__photo js-lazy" data-src="https://img-cdn.tnwcdn.com/image/duotone?fit=240%2C240&gradient=%23660099-%2300CCAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.tnwcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fblogs.dir%2F1%2Ffiles%2F2024%2F11%2Fheadshot-sion-2.jpg&signature=54baffa26ded259efa3d8f558315df00" > <noscript> <img alt="Siôn Geschwindt" class="c-contributor__photo" src="https://img-cdn.tnwcdn.com/image/duotone?fit=240%2C240&gradient=%23660099-%2300CCAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn0.tnwcdn.com%2Fwp-content%2Fblogs.dir%2F1%2Ffiles%2F2024%2F11%2Fheadshot-sion-2.jpg&signature=54baffa26ded259efa3d8f558315df00" > </noscript> </a> <div aria-label="Author Bio" class="c-contributor__main"> <h2 class="c-contributor__wrapper"> <span class="c-contributor__heading"> Story by </span> <span class="c-contributor__name" > <a href="/author/sion" class="latest"> Siôn Geschwindt </a> </span> </h2> <p class="c-contributor__text"> <input class="c-contributor__expandInput" id="contributorExpandInput123" name="expand" type="checkbox"> <span class="c-contributor__bio c-contributor__bio--truncated"> Siôn is a climate and energy reporter at TNW.
