Electric transition between the present and the future
In the last 20 years, Italy has gone from an electricity system is based on large production plants, to a structure with rapid growth of renewable sources, in particular wind and solar, and a gradual drop in thermoelectric capacity. In this context, Terna has identified some lines of action, including strengthening its commitment on the network and on interconnections abroad to increase the infrastructure ...
Networks at the Center of the Urban Ecosystem
In the last 10 years, the service that energy and gas distribution network must guarantee has changed radically: points of production linked with a medium and low voltage network, increasing electrification, and much more volatile gas consumption.#Refocusing on networks will lead to an additional effort in the coming years to make new technological solutions operational: more flexibility, more safety, ...
Electric Infrastructure for tomorrow
Electricity networks require urgent technological evolution, to allow for an energy transition towards a more sustainable model of production. The scenario presented in the Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) sent by the Italian government to the European Commission implies a strong commitment in regard to networks. Our daily life, which is increasingly digital, requires highly technological networks, ...
Decarbonization and the Challenges of Big Oil
The reduction of the use of fossil fuels in the economy represents an existential challenge for oil companies, on which pressure is increasing from governments, institutional investors, and civil society, as they are considered among those most responsible for greenhouse gas emissions, and thus climate change. Currently, each “Big Oil” company is facing four possible strategic options: decide ...
Cobalt: Blue Gold in the Energy Transition
In 2020, the global demand for cobalt should exceed 120,000 tons; globally, 71 percent of this mineral is extracted in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The ethical problems linked to the exploitation of adults and children in the cobalt production process pose urgent moral and image questions for technology multinationals and the large producers of electric automobiles, that risk alienating a growing ...
