Discourse on various energy sources: nuclear power versus marine energy, explored on our platform
Straight Up on Italy's Energy Shakeup: The Heat's On, Hassle-Free!
Prominent figures and experts are set to face off in a passionate discourse on Italy's energy metamorphosis this coming Monday, May 5, at the Ogr during "New Energies," a debate organized by our very own website. This intriguing event promises to shed light on the trials of transition, innovative technology, and environmental policies, with the future and energy independence being top priorities on a global scale.
Headlining the event is none other than the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, who will unveil the government's strategies on decarbonization and tempt us with updates on the highly anticipated law for the relaunch of nuclear power. The evolution of Italy's energy game plan will be at the heart of the discussion, focusing mainly on the influential role that modern, clean nuclear energy might play.
contest of Nuclear power
Physicist Stefano Buono, a CERN researcher and founder of newcleo, a company at the cutting edge of developing ingenious small nuclear reactors, is one of the keynote speakers in the event. Buono, who's planning to launch newly minted labs at Envi Park in Turin, is all set to present his vision of a greener and safer energy universe, revolving around fast reactors cooled with lead that can utilize existing nuclear waste and plutonium as fuel. This innovative approach aims to significantly minimize environmental consequences.
To spark lively discussions, geologist and science communicator Mario Tozzi will join the party, voicing concerns about the environmental risks associated with nuclear power, including offering alternative approaches for renewable energy generation.
Research and academia
The academic world will contribute its might to the debate. Stefano Paolo Corgnati, Rector of the Polytechnic of Turin, will share insights on Turin's potent research capabilities in sustainability, stressing the necessity of global collaborations. Giuliana Mattiazzo, Vice-Rector and coordinator of the MorEnergy Lab, will delve into offshore wind, wave energy, and the universe of startups linked to the University.
Industry
Industrial innovation will be represented by Francesco Oppici, co-founder of Energy Dome, a startup that's engineered an innovative long-duration energy storage technology. This revolutionary system employs liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide, making it a perfect shield to store energy generated by intermittent sources like solar and wind, thus ensuring a stable, resilient, and low-impact energy system.
Last but far from least, the Vice-President of the European Commission for Industry, Research, and Energy, Giorgio Gori, and Luca Dal Fabbro, President of Iren, will join the party to contribute their expertise.
The Big Show
The conversation will be moderated by the director of our website, Andrea Malaguti, along with the Deputy Director Giuseppe Bottero and journalist Giulia Ricci. The event will unfold in the Binario 3 spaces of the Ogr, located at via Castelfidardo 22, this very Monday at 4:30 PM.
