Fusion talks with Sweden's newly appointed nuclear power coordinator

We at Novatron Fusion Group had the pleasure of introducing Carl Berglöf, Sweden's newly appointed nuclear power coordinator, into the growing global fusion industry, Novatron Fusion Group and the Novatron fusion energy solution – the world’s only stable mirror-machine concept, and the only mirror machine-concept in Europe. 

Carl Berglöf´s mission includes getting new nuclear power in place by 2035 and plan for a larger scaleup by 2045. He currently works as a nuclear power expert at the industry organization Energiföretagen and has a doctorate in reactor physics from KTH.

As a company, we fully agree that Carl Berglöf has an important and central role in speeding up the expansion of new nuclear power in Sweden, as previous stated by the Minister of Energy and Industry, Ebba Busch. 

The world´s increasing demand and dependency on energy is enormous. We need clean, reliable, and affordable energy to fuel the global all-electric transformation. There are many sustainable energy projects and technologies being developed around the world to harness the wind, water, geothermal and sun more effectively. 

These are equally important in the energy mix together with traditional nuclear power. But we believe that fusion power has vastly more potential. Sweden has historically, successfully, offered an environment for innovations to develop into successful technology companies. Now Sweden, and the world, are entering a new phase where the industries of the future are dominated by deep tech. One of the key areas is energy technology.

The traditional market forces to build the big companies of the future are not enough. Especially not to drive the global transformation. New collaboration tools are needed to make it possible. We need long-term investments and commitments in infrastructure, and a vision for which areas Sweden should be outstanding in. Here we believe Carl Berglöf has an important role to play.

Deep tech areas has the potential to be the future, large industries that will host the jobs and economy to preserve and develop the well-being for all people. This will lead to new challenges for academia, business, and the public sector given national competitiveness and security. But also, in terms of new investments needed to enable research to grow into a commercial business. Ultimately, the government, authorities and other stakeholders with a national interest, need to understand what deep tech companies need to be able to stay and grow in Sweden (or elsewhere).

Nuclear fusion could provide a much-needed solution to several of humanity's greatest challenges: the growing need for energy and accelerating climate change. With that said, we are looking forward to more visits as we push forward to fast-track the transition to commercial fusion power.

Happy Easter from team Novatron Fusion Group
