Innovation Dynamics and Technological Maturity in the Fusion Sector: An Assessment of Fusion Projects

Nuclear fusion is envisioned for near-term energy generation deployment, with projected timelines for commercial deployment of fusion expected for the 2030s. Previous research has been limited to either economic or technological maturity assessments of the sector. To address this gap, we design a novel framework that evaluates fusion projects across the most common reactor types and derives the trajectories ...

Although the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that U.S. tariffs are unlawful, this does not change the tariff rates imposed on German exports, as the agreement with the European Union is assumed to remain in ...

Sector Coupling Reimagined: Synthesizing Fragmented Perspectives Into a Unified Framework

Sector coupling (SC), the integration of energy vectors and end-use sectors, is increasingly central to the net-zero transition but remains conceptually fragmented. This fragmentation causes modeling inconsistencies, hinders cross-study comparison, and undermines energy policy coordination. We address this gap through a structured mapping of existing definitions, categorizing them along three dimensions, ...
