Following a week of extended negotiations at COP30 in Belém, Novatron Fusion Group (NFG) has shared reflections on the conference, emphasizing what it describes as a widening recognition of fusion energy’s potential role in the global transition away from fossil fuels.
Despite pressure from more than 80 countries, delegates were unable to agree on a roadmap for phasing out fossil fuel use — a gap that NFG argues highlights the need for new, scalable clean-energy solutions.
NFG and its partner St1 Nordic Oy attended COP30 to engage with policymakers, industry leaders, and financial institutions. Their central message: fusion power, long regarded as a distant scientific ambition, is becoming a strategic consideration for economies seeking reliable, emissions-free baseload energy.
Discussions in Belém suggested that momentum around fusion is accelerating as nations look for technologies capable of supporting large-scale electrification without greenhouse gases or long-lived radioactive waste.
A centerpiece of NFG’s presence was its panel discussion, “Is Fusion the Gamechanger We’ve Been Waiting For?” featuring speakers from the Fusion Industry Association, Clean Air Task Force and St1 Nordic Oy. Participants explored the technological, economic, and policy conditions required to bring fusion to market.
NFG reports that interest from global institutions was strong; representatives from the World Bank, for example, expressed optimism about the promise of next-generation fusion systems. The company also noted increasing political visibility. Swedish Parliamentary Group Leader and Deputy Chair of Committee on Industry and Trade, Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, referenced fusion in her COP30 remarks, underscoring what NFG sees as growing national and international recognition of the field’s potential.
As the only private fusion initiative in the Nordic region and the first in the EU to construct a full-system device, NFG says it will continue advancing its reactor concept with the aim of ultimately providing commercial fusion power. The company maintains that achieving global climate goals will require investment, partnerships, and sustained leadership — and that fusion is poised to play a critical role in that effort.
