The hurdles in harnessing renewable energy sources
Lights, Camera, Action on Italy's Energy Revolution
Gear up, innovators! On Monday, May 5th, we're inviting visionaries and visionaries to rally together and tackle one of the most pressing issues on our planet - the switch to clean energy. With Stefano Paolo Corgnati, Rector of the Politecnico di Torino kicking things off and Minister Pichetto Fratin wrapping it up, this event promises to be a thrilling exchange of ideas.
Prepare to be inspired by industry leaders like Stefano Buono, former CERN researcher and CEO of newcleo, who's revolutionizing next-generation nuclear reactors. Or, dig deeper into the world of renewable energy with Mario Tozzi, a CNR geologist, science communicator, and TV personality.
Add to the mix Luca Dal Fabbro, President of Iren, and Giorgio Gori, Vice-President of the European Commission for Industry, Research, and Energy. And let's not forget Francesco Oppici, Energy Dome's Chief Commercial Officer, and Giuliana Mattiazzo, Vice-Rector of Politecnico di Torino, who'll be showcasing their green technologies.
Of course, our very own Federico Monga, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of this fine publication, will be moderating this jam-packed debate, complete with an exclusive interview with Minister Pichetto Fratin.
With the energy issue commanding greater attention on political and economic agendas, the time is ripe for action. By 2050, at least 80% of electricity production in G20 countries could come from non-fossil fuel sources. But challenges lurk in the form of escalating material costs and reliance on a limited network of vital mineral suppliers.
Since Torino, with its network of universities, startups, and major corporations, is standing tall as a protagonist in this imminent "energy revolution," now's the time to get involved. The showdown happens at 4:30 PM on May 5th, OGR Torino (corso Castelfidardo 22). Best of all? It's absolutely free, with admission available via reservation using the QR code or by dropping by our website.
As we brace for the challenges ahead, rest assured the Torino event is just the beginning. In June 2025, the Unlocking Underground Energy Workshop at Politecnico di Torino might take a closer look at innovations in underground energy resources, potentially forging a path towards a cleaner future. And in Milan and Bari in May and July 2025, respectively, Energy Investor Forums and OSES2025 Symposiums emphasize digital innovation, offshore renewables, and energy storage solutions.
It's clear that promoting renewable energy investments, embracing digital innovation, and exploring offshore energy and storage options are all key to ensuring a secure energy supply and combating climate change. By coming together at this critical juncture, we can turn the tide towards a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
