Globe 2016 Perspectives: fusion power

When it comes to renewable energy, most people think of solar power, wind power and tidal power. But Paul Sullivan says another option, called fusion, could transform the world’s energy supply.

It is a complicated process that’s still in development. But at its essence, the molecules in seawater are fused together to create energy without the creation of greenhouse gases.

“It’s definitely a game changer,” says Sullivan.

Paul Sullivan spoke about the potential for fusion energy at the GLOBE 2016 Conference and Innovation Expo in Vancouver in March. He was not paid for his comments. GLOBE is North America’s largest and longest-running conference series dedicated to business innovation and climate change solutions for the planet.

In the world's conversation about energy, one point is beyond debate: Energy makes a vital contribution to people's quality of life, to society and to human progress. This is true today, and it will remain true in the future. That's why Energy Matters was created. We believe it's important to equip people with unbiased information so they may form opinions, join the conversation and feel confidence in the work and accomplishments of the energy sector. Energy Matters is an initiative that provides transparent information and perspective on energy. Here, we'll cover a range of topics: the scale of global energy; the ways energy is sourced and produced; current energy technology; forthcoming innovations; the world's future energy needs; and the sustainable sources of energy that will fill them. Because energy matters to everyone, we hope you'll rely on Energy Matters as an ongoing source of balanced information.
