In the collective imagination, young people represent the hope for a more sustainable future. A generation naturally inclined to take care of the planet. The reality, however, is much more complex: while it is true that major youth mobilisations for the climate have sprung up in recent years, it is...

As photographed by recent ISPRA data, the emission categories of the energy sector contribute more than 80% of total greenhouse gas emissions in our country: about one fifth of national emissions, in detail, come from energy production. And while in 2024 the global demand for energy increased at a higher...

In recent years, the issue of environmental sustainability has assumed a central role on the global agenda. The need – and the urgency – is to contain the effects of climate change, and to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This is a goal that, in order to be achieved, requires...

Towards a new European energy model At the heart of the European political agenda for many years now is a vision that aims to create a sustainable, fair and resilient production and energy system. This is an ambitious goal, both politically and in terms of application, which has precise objectives:...

With the term High Performance Computing(HPC), we refer to those technologies used to create computing systems capable of providing very high performance. It is certainly not a recent technology: interest in HPC dates back to the 1960s, with the first applications – mainly related to simulations – born mainly in...

Digital transformation and environmental sustainability are today interconnected challenges. It is no coincidence that the European Union speaks of a double transition, digital and green, placing them both at the centre of its priorities for the coming years. In many cases, in fact, digital helps to reduce environmental impacts: just...

Smart grids, or smart grids, represent one of the most significant innovations in the energy sector in recent decades. These grids integrate advanced digital technologies into electricity distribution and management, enabling two-way communication between suppliers and consumers. This approach not only improves the efficiency and reliability of the electricity system,...

Transport emissions continue to rise: more private cars, more goods on the road. The solutions to decarbonise transport are there, but the real challenge is to completely rethink the way we move around our cities. Using digital technology as a tool to enable more sustainable mobility. This is why, once...

Blockchain is emerging as one of the most innovative and versatile technologies of our time, capable of profoundly transforming all the key sectors of our economy, including the energy sector. Initially associated in the imagination of many only with the world of cryptocurrencies, today blockchain finds application in much broader...

by Bob Mumgaard September 2021: Our group watched the screen with anticipation as our fusion magnet technology raced toward the 20 Tesla milestone. We knew that the success of that breakthrough magnet would be a major step forward for us toward bringing magnetic confinement fusion to the market. It would...

The energy transition today is one of the most complex and crucial priorities and challenges of our time. Reducing carbon emissions and accelerating the adoption of renewable sources is not just a goal, but a necessity imposed by the urgency of the climate crisis. However, the transition to a sustainable...

Inclusive economic growth is what we expect from the future. This is why the first sustainability goal focuses on fighting poverty-not only economic poverty but also inequality, the lack of access to essential services and education, as well as hunger, malnutrition, and insufficient incomes and resources. Currently, 836 million people...
