Kyoto Fusioneering Europe GmbH (KFEU) Secures Major Research Grant from BMBF
KFEU has been awarded a prestigious research grant from the German Ministry Research and Education (BMBF) as part of the "Funding Program Fusion 2040." The grant will support the KaLiAS project (FKZ 13F1010A) to further develop a scalable, cost-effective process for Lithium enrichment in cooperation with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Argentum Vivum Solutions GmbH.
Oxford Sigma, Kyoto Fusioneering (KF), and the STEP Programme Publish Collaborative Research Exploring Novel Configurations and Materials for Tritium Breeding in Spherical Tokamaks
KF has collaborated with the UK STEP programme on new research exploring novel configurations and materials for tritium breeding in spherical tokamaks.
KFEU Secures Another Landmark Grant from BMBF
KFEU has also been awarded a second research grant for more than 2.5 million Euros from the German Ministry for Research and Education (BMBF) under the “Funding Program Fusion 2040.”
IThrough the “SyrVBreTT” project, KFEU will develop the following key fusion fuel cycle tritium technologies together with its partners, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the University of Stuttgart:
✅️Metal Foil Pump
️✅️Centrifuge-driven Pellet Injection System
️✅️Next Generation Tritium Storage System
️✅️Tritium Tracking Tools

THE FUSION ERA – Our Year End Party 2024
Our most recent blog shares highlights from the Year End Party celebrations held late last year at our locations in Japan, Germany, the UK and the US!
Take a look at some of our photos that bring to life the festive spirit and lively atmosphere of the events.
Pioneering Materials for Fusion Power with ARPA-E Support
KF plays an active role in the multi-institutional team, led by Prof. Janelle Wharry, who has recently received a $2.5 million grant from the US Department of Energy’s ARPA-E to design new materials that bring fusion power plants closer to reality.
This funding is part of ARPA-E’s CHADWICK program, that focuses on creating advanced materials for the critical “first wall” surrounding the fusion core.
Our role will focus on liquid metal and molten salt facilities, along with neutronics analysis, to support the development of these next-generation materials.
Fusion Fuel Cycle Inc. (FFC) Accomplished HAZOP Study
FFC, a joint venture between Canadian Nuclear Laboratories and KF, has successfully accomplished a HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) study in Chalk River. Canada.
This process is fundamental to evaluate the safety of UNITY-2, which will demonstrate the fusion fuel cycle system.
KF America (KFA) Participated in Two Fusion Events in the US
In December, KFA has participated in two fusion events.
- Fusion Power Associatgion 45th Annual Meeting in Washington DC
- US National Fusion S&T Roadmap Forum
