Zhongke Fusion is a Chinese company established in 2018, focused on the commercialization of nuclear fusion energy. The company is part of a growing national effort in China to develop fusion energy, a field that has seen increased private investment and the establishment of several startups. This initiative runs parallel to state-led projects like the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) and the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR).
The primary technical approach for many entities in this sector, including state and private enterprises, is the tokamak, a device using magnetic fields to confine the extremely hot plasma required for fusion. Recent advancements in high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials are enabling the development of smaller, more compact tokamaks, which could significantly accelerate the path to commercial fusion energy. The broader strategy within China involves a multi-faceted approach, including significant government investment, the creation of public-private partnerships, and fostering a complete industrial ecosystem, from research and development to component manufacturing.
