Japanese fusion startup Helical Fusion and veteran manufacturer Sugino Machine have jointly developed the world's only dedicated machine for producing high-temperature superconducting coils. Standing 6 meters tall and weighing 12 tons, this device is essential for building the "Helix HARUKA" demonstration reactor, bringing Japan closer to achieving the world's first commercial fusion power in the 2030s.

Vema Hydrogen completes the world's first Engineered Mineral Hydrogen pilot wells in Quebec. With potential costs of $0.50/kg—a 90% reduction—and candidate sites identified in Japan's Tohoku and Kyushu regions, this technology could reshape Japan's hydrogen society vision and energy independence.
