Questions about Nuclear Fusion for Power Generation

Nuclear fission and fusion are two paths to clean energy. Fission reactors, which split heavy nuclei to produce energy, have been providing electricity around the world since the 1950s, while fusion reactors, which fuse light nuclei to release energy, are still in the experimental stage. Will fusion machines be practical for producing electricity?

The first law of thermodynamics is known as the conservation of energy. It states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So we can never get out more than is contained in the fuel we put in. This law raises serious questions about nuclear fusion: Do light elements release more energy than they use for fusion, and where does fusion energy come from?

Nuclear fission machines can produce more energy than they consume because the fission energy of heavy elements like uranium comes from supernovas. As explained by thermonuclear astrophysics, elements heavier than iron are created by the absorption of nuclear energy inside a very large star when it goes supernova.

Could the fusion energy of light elements come from the Big Bang? Since there is a better explanation than the Big Bang theory for what we observe in the cosmos today, this theory is most likely a fictional story.

Before investing in fusion reactors, it is important to know whether light elements release more energy than they consume for fusion, or where the fusion energy comes from.

I work as a Senior Knowledge Analyst at Boston Consulting Group based out of the Houston, Texas office. I am interested in part-time remote volunteering utilizing my topic expertise in low carbon fuels, Hydrogen, Renewable Natural gas. Would appreciate any thoughts, opportunities you know of.

Interesting case of employing a renewable energy solution to treat a waste & food security issue.

In East Africa, small-scale farmers who make up most of their agribusiness are often faced with their fresh produce going to waste, due to the lack of electricity supply, cold storage facilities, and general post-harvest management support.

Tanzania has recently come up with an increasingly effective solution to this problem. The country has made visible progress in setting up refrigerating facilities, but powered by solar energy. While benefitting thousands of farmers and traders already, the article raises necessity of scaling financing, especially from the private sector into renewable energy projects to populate such a solution across the Sub-Saharan Africa.

Shared Solar Launches to Make Solar Energy More Accessible

Are you looking for a future in a sustainable sector? Or do you want to learn how your skills can help the climate? Then look no further & register now for the international #SolarWorksFair, for free!
The #SolarWorksFair is a virtual event on 1 December, matching job seekers with a diverse range of solar companies. You will get the unique opportunity to connect with talent recruiters, discover what their current opening are and get advice on how to enter the rapidly growing market.
The demand for solar is higher than ever – and we cannot let the shortage of skilled workers hold us back. The sector urgently needs to find talent to install all that solar potential, and they need people with all kinds of skills. #solar
