🌍 Stepping across borders: Supporting Italy's climate targets with Adriatic Link Siemens Energy continues to support Italy’s ambitions of reaching net-zero targets by contributing to the expansion of the grid via our recent #HVDC contract win of #AdriaticLink. We have secured a contract to provide technical equipment and the turnkey supply of the two converter stations for Adriatic Link, a major energy infrastructure project in Italy from our partner Terna SpA. Supplied with our state-of-the-art HVDC PLUS technology, the 250 km long connection will enable the exchange of up to 1,000 MW of energy between the north and south of Italy, and thus will strengthen the stability and security of the grid. ⚡ As Italy aims to meet its 2030 climate targets, including a 55% reduction in emissions, Adriatic Link will be important in supporting the nation's renewable energy goals. With the growing share of #renewables in Italy's electricity generation, this project will support the efficient integration of these energy sources. Step by step, we move with our partners towards the connectivity of the grid.

Turning #wastewater into energy: a story of #hydrogen and #circularity A wastewater treatment plant in Italy is transforming the way we think about wastewater and its place in the energy nexus. It is a story of hydrogen and circularity, where what was once discarded will become fuel for a greener future. The plant uses power-to-gas technology to convert renewable electricity into synthetic natural gas, increasing the pollutant reduction potential of the sewage treatment plant.

Corriere della Sera says that Italy's Nuclear Renaissance: A Path Forward with Enel Group Ansaldo Energia, and Leonardo As #Italy moves towards a sustainable energy future, the conversation around nuclear energy is gaining momentum. The recent government initiatives aiming to revive nuclear power in Italy signal a pivotal shift in our energy strategy, focusing on security, sustainability, and economic growth. Leading this charge are industry giants such as Enel, Ansaldo, and Leonardo, who bring extensive expertise and innovation to the table. Their collaboration promises to enhance the safety and efficiency of nuclear technology, particularly through the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). Why Nuclear? Nuclear energy offers a reliable, low-carbon alternative that can help Italy meet its climate goals while supporting energy independence in support and with the help of #renewables in a comprehensive #energymix designed for Italian energy needs. While SMRs present a promising step forward due to their scalability and safety features, I believe that Italy also needs to invest in large-scale reactors. These larger systems can provide the substantial energy output necessary to support our industrial baseload and transition towards a fully sustainable energy ecosystem. Collaboration for Innovation Enel is exploring new nuclear technologies, including SMRs, that align with international safety standards. Ansaldo is dedicated to engineering solutions that optimize both modular and large reactor operations. Leonardo is focused on integrating cutting-edge technology to enhance safety and security measures in the nuclear sector. To fully harness the potential of nuclear energy, the government, under Prime Minister #Meloni, should create a clear and supportive regulatory framework that encourages investment in both SMR and large-scale reactor technologies. This approach will not only diversify our energy portfolio but also secure Italy's position as a leader in sustainable energy. Let’s embrace this opportunity to innovate and lead in the nuclear sector!

🚀🔧 Breaking Ground on Italy’s Nuclear Legacy: The Decommissioning of Caorso Plant Italy’s Caorso nuclear power plant—an 860 MWe boiling water reactor that shut down in 1990—is making significant strides towards responsible decommissioning. After securing its decommissioning license in 2014, Società Gestione Impianti Nucleari SpA (Sogin) is finally dismantling components inside the reactor building. The task? Carefully breaking down over 3,400 tonnes of materials while prioritizing safety and environmental protection. 👷‍♂️ The real standout here is that 88% of these materials are non-irradiated and will be releasable post-treatment. This means they can be recycled and reused, showing the impressive potential for circularity even in nuclear projects. The remaining 12% will be managed as radioactive waste, stored safely until Italy’s national repository is ready. But here’s where it gets interesting: with advancements in modern reactors, this percentage could be reduced even further, highlighting the role of technology in minimizing radioactive waste. Sogin teams are already at work, mapping cutting points and using precise techniques to dismantle each component. An intricate waste management system ensures materials are transferred, decontaminated, and reduced in volume efficiently. 🌱 Projects like this are essential for our energy transition, showing that we can responsibly manage past energy choices while embracing sustainable practices. Could this be a glimpse into a future where modern reactor technologies make decommissioning even cleaner?

🏭 Refining represents one of the most widespread end-use for hydrogen today, consuming about 40% of current global production. In #Italy, the number turns out to be much higher, with refining activities totaling about 75% (i.e., 0.5Mton per year) of national #hydrogen demand, primarily in Sicily’s Eastern area. Regardless of location, it goes without saying that virtually all this hydrogen is today produced from #unabated fossil fuels. 🎯 Current #refinery operations are mostly targeting fuel production, which demand is projected to decrease in a decarbonised future. Yet, short term actions are needed to start abating emissions. In this regard, the switch to clean hydrogen is set to be mainly driven by the RFNBO targets in the transport sector, expected to incentivise low-carbon fuel consumption, while the EU's #REDIII 42% target for RFNBO usage in industry will not cover hydrogen used for intermediate fuel production. 🍀 Though, switching to renewable sources still requires favourable economics. Latest cost estimates for Italy indicate +10EUR per kg of green H2 produced, compared to about 3EUR/kgH2 for grey production pathways. Even though Italian refineries could have access to cheap green H2 imported by #SoutH2 corridors large volumes could become available only on a longer timescale. ❓ So, which drivers may bridge the cost gap? Surely, financial support schemes – such as OPEX incentives – can reduce the cost difference between green and grey options. Furthermore, penalties for non-compliance with regulatory mandates are set to be key to spark the grey-to-green switch. Do you think the combination of incentives and penalties will suffice to kick-start the green H2 usage in refining? Or will it be necessary to identify players willing to pay a #GreenPremium to cover the cost gap between green and grey products?
