Proxima Fusion, a startup from Germany, has made headlines by raising €130 million, marking the largest private investment in European fusion energy. The Munich-based company, emerging from the Max Planck Institute, aims to position its stellarator fusion machine as a strong contender against the more prevalent tokamak technology. Stellarators allow for continuous operation with lower energy requirements, presenting potential advantages over tokamaks. Experts believe that Proxima’s innovative approach could redefine the future of fusion energy.
"While they are harder to design, we believe that stellarators will leapfrog tokamaks because they are easier to operate and are more stable in the long run."
"Proxima has taken its place as the leading European contender in the global race to commercial fusion, with €130mn funding from notable investors."
