UKAEA and Eni are col­lab­o­rat­ing to build the world’s largest tri­tium fuel cycle facil­i­ty, the “UKAEA-Eni H3AT Tri­tium Loop Facil­i­ty,” at Cul­ham Cam­pus, set to com­plete in 2028. This part­ner­ship aims to advance fusion ener­gy by devel­op­ing cru­cial tri­tium pro­cess­ing and recy­cling tech­nolo­gies.

The EU’s €100 bil­lion Clean Indus­tri­al Deal and Afford­able Ener­gy Action Plan aim to boost indus­try and renew­ables. The Deal focus­es on man­u­fac­tur­ing, while the Plan tar­gets clean ener­gy. To sup­port local man­u­fac­tur­ing, the EU is con­sid­er­ing non-price pro­cure­ment cri­te­ria, cru­cial for indus­tries like bat­tery pro­duc­tion to stay com­pet­i­tive.

The EU Com­mis­sion is sim­pli­fy­ing rules for busi­ness­es and cit­i­zens to boost com­pet­i­tive­ness, fol­low­ing the Draghi report. Ini­tial mea­sures will stream­line sus­tain­abil­i­ty report­ing, focus­ing on large com­pa­nies to reduce bur­dens on small­er ones.
