BUTTING: Innovative in fusion energy

The global energy transition is gaining increasing attention. Companies are looking for innovative solutions to harness renewable energy sources. BUTTING, too, is actively involved in the promising field of fusion energy.

Fusion energy is seen as a forward-looking approach to sustainable energy production. In this technology, atomic nuclei combine, releasing significant amounts of energy in the process. Compared to commonly used energy sources, fusion energy offers the potential for an almost limitless, clean and environmentally friendly energy source.

Our extensive range of key technologies demonstrates our commitment to environmentally sustainable energy production. These technologies include vacuum-insulated piping components (VIP piping) in customised special designs for specific applications in fusion reactors, cryogenic valves, skid assemblies, pressure tanks and customised components. The latest technologies, such as finite element analysis, guarantee the highest level of product quality. Marcel Bartels, Managing Director of BUTTING Anlagenbau, the BUTTING Group's Plant construction division, sees further benefits for customers: "Thanks to the global presence of the BUTTING Group's companies and partners, we can send experienced technicians to supervise assembly and installations. This service has resulted in successful partnerships with leading companies in Boston and Australia."

"We are always seeking promising new partnerships and are flexible to meet the diverse requirements of fusion energy. The materials we use meet the highest standards and our designs comply with the ASME B 31.3 code. Production takes place at our BUTTING Group sites – either in Knesebeck or primarily in Burgkirchen," explains Patrice Brossard, Sales Director North America.

With a clear focus on technological excellence and our strong commitment to sustainable solutions, BUTTING plays an important role in the development of components for fusion reactors. The successful co-operations in Boston and Australia are just the beginning – we are proud to assume our share of responsibility towards future generations and to actively promote the advancement of fusion energy.
