可控核聚变专题报告：可控核聚变系列报告（一）：未来能源的奇点

Group 1 - Controlled nuclear fusion is considered a future ideal energy source due to its high energy output compared to nuclear fission, with 1 gram of deuterium-tritium fusion fuel releasing energy equivalent to 11.2 tons of standard coal, which is about four times that of 1 gram of uranium-235 fission [12][13] - The deuterium-tritium reaction is the mainstream application in nuclear fusion, offering advantages such as feasible fuel acquisition, high technical feasibility, and significant energy gain, making it the most viable path for achieving net energy gain and commercial power generation [18][19] - Magnetic confinement is recognized as the most promising method for achieving large-scale controlled nuclear fusion, with superconducting technology being key to future device miniaturization and cost reduction [1][25] Group 2 - The global demand for electricity is increasing, driven by data centers, which currently consume about 415 TWh and are expected to double to approximately 945 TWh by 2030, making controlled nuclear fusion an ideal energy solution [2][3] - The progress in controlled nuclear fusion has shifted from "can it ignite" to "can it operate long-term, stably, and economically," with significant advancements in devices like EAST and ITER laying the groundwork for commercial viability [2][3] - Major domestic projects in China, such as EAST and BEST, are expected to see capital expenditures exceeding 92 billion yuan over the next five years, benefiting local companies involved in the supply chain [4][6] Group 3 - The manufacturing value of midstream equipment in the tokamak devices is significant, with over 50% of the value chain attributed to midstream equipment, including key components like vacuum chambers and superconducting magnets [3][6] - Domestic companies are expected to benefit from the nuclear fusion sector, with investments in upstream materials and midstream equipment manufacturing, including companies like Western Superconducting, Antai Technology, and China Nuclear Power [6][4] - The capital expenditure in China's controlled nuclear fusion sector is projected to maintain around 92 billion yuan from 2026 to 2030, with annual investments exceeding 10 billion yuan [6][4]
