About TauEB

Spanning November 2024 to October 2027, this ambitious initiative unites interdisciplinary expertise under the coordination of KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. Fusion power, with its promise of safety and sustainability, aligns with global energy and environmental goals.

The project is funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) with €2,944,905.

Consortium Partners and Roles

1. KTH Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden
   KTH leads the project execution and communication strategies. It spearheads research on ponderomotive radiofrequency (RF) plugging and explores the ambipolar potential's role in energy confinement.

2. National Science Center Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (NSC KIPT), Ukraine
   NSC KIPT focuses on ambipolar plugging and plasma heating through Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) and Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH), contributing to diagnostics and RF plugging research.

3. Novatron Fusion Group AB (NFG), Sweden
   NFG designs the tandem magnetic field system critical for ambipolar and RF plugging. It also prepares Novatron technology for industrial scalability.

4. InnoEnergy (KIC SE), EU
   This entity manages project innovation and accelerates commercialization of Novatron technology, advancing EU decarbonization goals.

5. UK Atomic Energy Authority (CCFE), UK
   CCFE leads diagnostics to evaluate energy confinement time and supports plasma heating processes for ambipolar potential establishment.

The TauEB project integrates cutting-edge science, innovation management, and industrial readiness to accelerate the realization of fusion energy, contributing significantly to the global clean energy transition.
