Fusion's Carbon Footprint
Fusion emits no carbon while running. Kronos points the real question at construction, where it belongs.
- Operational CO2
- Zero
- Lifecycle
- Embodied carbon in construction
A fusion plant emits no CO&sub2; in operation — its fuel is hydrogen isotopes. The meaningful lifecycle question is embodied carbon in materials and construction, common to all built infrastructure, which Kronos includes in its environmental screening rather than claiming a free pass.
Lifecycle, not just operationKronos frames its environmental case on a full lifecycle basis, with the embodied-carbon screening among the honestly-flagged items.
