Buenos días,
El European Innovation Council (EIC) ha lanzado un challenge en energía de fusión "Alternative Concepts and Key Enabling Technologies for Fusion Power Plants" . Va dirigido a start-ups y pymes que deseen realizar propuestas en alguna de las siguientes temáticas:
- Alternative concepts: magnetic, inertial and magneto-inertial fusion, either at the system level (conceptual or engineering design) or the design of core components and technologies
- Advanced materials: these encompass materials for components that must withstand extreme conditions of e.g. temperature, heat flux, plasma particle flux and neutron load, corrosion, and mechanical stress
- Sustainable and stable fuel production: innovative concepts for enabling tritium production and a closed tritium fuel cycle in fusion power plants
- New laser technologies: high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems, along with allied optics, to enable fuel compression and ignition in inertial confinement fusion
- New components /systems for Plasma: innovative components/systems for effective plasma heating and current drive
- Magnets: innovative components and design approaches for magnets capable of operating under fusion power plant conditions, including high heat and radiation tolerance and structural strength
- Advanced Digital Technologies: includes the use of AI and machine learning techniques as well as digital twins to facilitate the design, control, monitoring and operation of future fusion power plants, and
- Targets for inertial confinement fusion: Advancing target design and materials to address current limitations in target performance and target insertion into the experimental/reactor chamber.
- Other key enabling technologies for fusion power plants not mentioned above will also be considered.
El proceso de presentación requiere la entrega de una short proposal, la full proposal y defender un pitch frente al jurado del EIC. Los TRL: 4-6, 6-8.
El presupuesto previsto es 20 millones de euros para 2026 ( dividido en 4-5 proyectos )y otros 20 millones de euros para 2027.
