Fusion energy: Progress, partnerships, and the path to deployment
Over the past decade, fusion energy has moved decisively from scientific aspiration toward a credible pathway to a new energy technology. Thanks to long-term federal support, we have significantly advanced our fundamental understanding of plasma physics—the behavior of the superheated gases at the heart of fusion devices. This knowledge will enable the creation and control of fusion fuel under conditions required for future power plants. Our progress is exemplified by breakthroughs at the National Ignition Facility and the Joint European Torus.

Founder of nuclear energy start-up Karnfull (“The World’s most Innovative Nuclear Start-Up” / WNE23) and an award-winning entrepreneur, marketeer and tech evangelist – with a knack for storytelling and building products and services that put the user experience center stage.
After 10+ years of management positions in FinTech with neobanks disrupting and improving the UX in traditional banking services, John decided to carry that mindset across into the carbon-free energy space to reboot the atomic era in Sweden and beyond.
With Karnfull he’s rapidly built a brand and company group that accelerates, popularises and enhances nuclear in order for it to play its pivotal role in the Nordic region reaching Paris goals.
Karnfull Energy is the digital-first electricity supplier disrupting Scandinavian markets with affordable, hourly-variable 100% nuclear tariffs. Karnfull Next is Europe’s first SMR project developer, establishing co-located SMR campuses across Sweden.
