Kyoto Fusioneering Attended SOFT 2024 in Ireland
Kyoto Fusioneering (KF) proudly participated in the 2024 Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT), held from September 22 to 27 in Ireland. Our team of engineers and researchers, representing a range of expertise, actively participated in the conference. We engaged in technical discussions through poster presentations and at our exhibition booth.
Additionally, Richard Pearson, Co-founder, Chief Innovator, and UK Director, delivered an insightful presentation, highlighting key challenges in the path toward commercial fusion deployment.
We were delighted to meet so many of you and to discuss the exciting future of fusion energy!
Kyoto Fusioneering Selected by NEDO for its “Deep-Tech Startups Support Program in the Green Transformation field (GX)”
KF has been selected by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) to develop gyrotron technology for deep geothermal power generation. This innovative technology uses microwaves to melt and evaporate rock, offering a more efficient alternative to traditional drilling methods, which are costly and face wear-and-tear challenges.
KF’s new gyrotron technology, originally developed for fusion energy, is set to reduce geothermal energy generation costs. In addition to geothermal power, gyrotrons have potential applications in fusion energy and space exploration, with growing demand anticipated globally.
