How can AI take us the rest of the way to limitless clean energy? This headline could be the most significant in our lifetime. Just this December, 2022, US scientists have announced a decades-awaited breakthrough: a nuclear fusion reactor at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California has created a positive amount of net energy, where more energy was output than was used to maintain the reactor.

We're delighted that Professor Tim Dodwell has been invited to speak at Exeter's Net Zero event, run by EXIST, the Exeter Chamber's Science and Technology group. Come and join us to find out more about our Innovate UK Fast Start City Solar Farm project, how it will help Exeter reach its Net Zero goals, and explore other innovative carbon reduction solutions and applications. We are using Exeter City as a test bed - a city with clear net-zero targets (see roadmap), the programme will work with local land owners, Exeter City Council and renewable energy companies, with the project aim of designing a first of a kind, flexible, locally balanced, 20MW urban solar farm solution. The programme is building a network of stakeholders.
