Energy and Sustainable Mobility
with particular reference to energy transition and the development and testing of innovative energy systems
Activities Carried Out
Research activities are aimed at addressing energy challenges with an integrated approach that has at its core the development of green energy, energy storage systems, andhydrogen as the key link between answers to challenges and new opportunities.
In particular,hydrogen emerges as an ideal energy carrier for storage and use in highly efficient conversion and distributed generation systems with no environmental impact.
It is growing in importance forintegration with renewable energy through the use of technologies such as electrolyzers, which enable the production of hydrogen from clean sources, and fuel cells(FCs), which can convert hydrogen into energy without emissions.
These technologies allow energy produced from renewable sources to be stored and then used on demand, providing greater stability to the energy system.Hydrogen thus becomes a strategic element in the decarbonization of the industrial and transportation sectors, contributing to the reduction of CO₂ emissions. In sum, hydrogen is a key building block in achieving energy transition goals, helping to build a sustainable and resilient system for the future.
