“…In 2020, Carayannis et al recently sought to address a variety of identified problem categories, with an overall aim of conducting an external review of fusion and its practices. These categories were defined as: geo-economic, geo-political, geo-sociocultural, and geo-technological [229].…”

“…Thus, the study highlights the need of external reviews, especially from new spin-off technologies from the development of fusion, such as advanced magnets. Carayannis et al strongly advocates the use of 'open innovation diplomacy' to diminish risks of global market autonomy from single vendors in such markets [229].…”

“…• The external review mechanism proposed by Carayannis et al and the adherence to EU taxonomy criteria of sustainable energy sources are positive examples of methods that fusion can use to leverage itself against other energy sources in the global green initiative [229]. Further work should consider how the investment potential of fusion can be improved through the use of specific financial instruments and collaborations between public research labs and private enterprises.…”

The commercialisation of fusion for the energy market: a review of socio-economic studies

Progress in the development of fusion energy has gained momentum in recent years. However questions remain across key subject areas that will affect the path to commercial fusion energy. The purpose of this review is to expose socio-economic areas that need further research, and from this assist in making recommendations to the fusion community, (and policy makers and regulators) in order to redirect and orient fusion for commercialisation: When commercialised, what form does it take? Where does it fit into a future energy system? Compared to other technologies, how much will fusion cost? Why do it? When is it likely that fusion reaches commercialisation? Investigations that have sought to answer these questions carry looming uncertainty, mainly stemming from the technoeconomics of emerging fusion technology in the private-sector, and due to the potential for applications outside of electricity generation coming into consideration. Such topics covered include hydrogen, desalination, and process-heat applications.

As risk and uncertainty factors have become more prominent in the already volatile energy market because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of Arctic hydrocarbon resources has become a debatable issue. At any rate, oil and gas companies need to improve their strategic management systems (along with the development of technologies) for the successful implementation of such complex projects. The purpose of this study was to propose the conceptual basis for transforming strategic management and planning systems of oil and gas companies so that they can successfully face global challenges when implementing offshore oil and gas projects in the Arctic as well as provide more sustainable energy sources. The article discusses the current situation with Arctic initiatives and the results of an analysis of price instability in the energy sector, along with an analysis of several megatrends affecting oil and gas companies. All this allows for presenting a conceptual vision of how a strategic management system should be transformed in order to become able to meet the requirements for implementing Arctic projects, with the emphasis being placed on sustainability, management requirements, and the key principles. The research is based on the fundamentals of strategic management and strategic planning and relies on methods such as desk study, content analysis, event analysis, comparative analysis, and factor analysis.

“…That several speeches did not incorporate peace messaging is troubling. If fusion energy is to fulfill its potential for peace-building, fusion’s next phase planning, for several “DEMO”-class machines, must incorporate peace bringing in the broader systematic development of fusion energy, including through greater involvement of the Global South in the geopolitical and socioeconomic management of fusion (Carayannis, Draper, & Iftimie, 2020).…”

This study begins by reviewing the historical importance of peace in the ITER fusion experiment, the world's largest science diplomacy experiment, including by referencing other nuclear peacebuilding attempts, like the Baruch Plan and Atoms for Peace. It thematically analyses the speeches delivered by ITER consortium member state leaders at the July 28, 2020 ITER Machine Assembly Phase launch, which covered topics including fusion being a clean and safe form of energy and fusion's potential applications for climate management. The study emphasizes that Putin and the US representative did not reference peace, despite ITER being conceived by the Soviet Union and USA as a peacebuilding experiment, while China and others did. To address backsliding, the study recommends ITER engaging with the Call for a Global Commission for Urgent Action on Fusion Energy, issued in 2020, which incorporates a peacebuilding strand. Public Significance StatementThis study recalls the historical importance of peace in the ITER fusion experiment, also the world's largest science diplomacy experiment. Analysing speeches by global leaders delivered at the July 2020 ITER Machine Assembly Phase launch, it emphasizes that Putin and the US representative did not reference peace, despite ITER being conceived by the Soviet Union and USA as a peacebuilding experiment. To remedy this, the authors recommend ITER engaging with the Call for a Global Commission for Urgent Action on Fusion Energy, which incorporates a peacebuilding strand.
