How can the UK win the global fusion race? Energy policy expert Adam Bell explains why the next few years are critical, and how fusion technology is already delivering economic value today.
In episode 3 of our Powering UK Prosperity series, we explore how fusion research is driving innovation in advanced manufacturing, creating spin-off technologies for sectors like transport and space, and positioning the UK to lead the clean energy transition. From superconducting magnets to novel materials, discover how investing in fusion delivers returns long before the first commercial fusion machine powers up.
📌 Chapters:
0:00 – Introduction
0:24 – Economic value, spin-off technologies and innovation
3:13 – Fusion in the energy and policy landscape
5:34 – What the UK economy needs now
7:45 – Where fusion can have the most impact
8:50 – Winning the global fusion race
