💧 Decarbonizing steel with clean #hydrogen is possible and Italy is ready to demonstrate its feasibility.  Among the various projects that are being established for the use of the carrier in the steel field is today also the initiative signed Snam, TenarisDalmine and Tenova. The companies have embarked on a collaboration to introduce H2 into a steel product processing plant. This is happening in Dalmine, where Tenaris, the largest global manufacturer and supplier of tubes, will initiate a unique experiment in Italy. At the same steel site, an electrolysis system will be installed, and the hydrogen produced will fuel a burner for the rolling of the pipes.  The production of iron and steel with current technologies requires large amounts of coal. As a result, large amounts of CO2 are released.  For precision, it has been calculated that the manufacture of 1 tonne of steel emits on average about 1.85 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. ⬇️ Link in the first comment #RinnovabiliNET #environmnent #greeneconomy #solar #eolic #energy #greenenergy #solarenergy #windenergy #sustainable #sustainablity #sustainabledevelopment

The latest MASE report covering Italian project permitting procedures as of April 30th 2024 for standalone #batterystorage, pumped hydro and thermal generation plants >300 MW was just published last week. You can find it here: https://lnkd.in/dhtsAeK9 Interesting reading… around 14.5 GW of standalone #batterystorage are now in permitting having submitted filing for MASE AU. Adding up this year’s report to previous years the volume of approved standalone BESS projects reaches a cumulative of around 2.5 GW which have obtained MASE AU decrees. To be noted that a large majority of these consented projects are owned by Enel and have already been committed to past Capacity Market auctions buildout. It should also be clear that these statistics exclude projects in Sicily (the only region where a regional AU process applies), as well as projects <10 MW and projects where the simplified local PAS process may apply, and finally they also exclude co-located/hybrid projects with solar or wind (all of the above are not covered in the MASE report). We did some work to analyze the data and identify the primary developers behind the SPVs (not everything is traceable, and not all existing developer/investor relationships are of public domain... so there may be some minor imprecisions). Having said that, the number of players getting involved in standalone battery storage as expected has increased markedly. Below an anonymized snapshot of the spread. We’re proud to see Sphera Energy right up there amongst the top independent #energystorage developers in this growing market! #energystorage #bess #italy

Italy has been ramping up its efforts to increase investment in wind turbine projects as part of its broader commitment to renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions. Here are some key points highlighting the current landscape and future prospects for wind energy investment in Italy: 1. Government Initiatives and Policies: - Italy has set ambitious renewable energy targets in line with the European Union’s Green Deal. The National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) aims to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix to 30% by 2030. - The government has introduced incentives and subsidies to promote renewable energy projects, including wind energy. These include feed-in tariffs, tax benefits, and streamlined permitting processes. 2. Current Wind Energy Capacity: - Italy currently has a substantial installed wind energy capacity, primarily concentrated in regions such as Apulia, Sicily, and Sardinia. As of 2023, the installed capacity exceeded 11 GW. - The country is focusing on both onshore and offshore wind projects. While onshore wind farms are more prevalent, there is increasing interest and investment in offshore wind farms, especially in the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. 3. Major Projects and Investments: - Several large-scale wind projects are either underway or in the planning stages. For example, the Taranto offshore wind farm, which is the first of its kind in the Mediterranean, is a significant milestone. - International and domestic companies are investing heavily in the sector. Companies like Enel Green Power and Eni are key players in expanding Italy’s wind energy capacity. 4. Challenges and Opportunities: - While there are significant opportunities, challenges such as bureaucratic delays, regulatory hurdles, and local opposition can impede project development. - Advances in technology, such as more efficient and larger turbines, as well as improved grid integration, are creating new opportunities for investment. 5. Future Outlook: - The outlook for wind energy investment in Italy is positive, driven by the government’s commitment to renewable energy, technological advancements, and growing investor interest. - The development of offshore wind farms is expected to accelerate, contributing significantly to Italy’s renewable energy targets. Investors looking to enter the Italian wind energy market should closely monitor policy developments, engage with local stakeholders, and stay informed about technological trends and advancements in the sector.

Italy to launch Contracts for Difference auction, including wave energy #Italy has announced to launch a Contract for Difference (CfD) auction scheme through which the government will select and support renewable energy projects. The auction scheme will include - among others - tidal and #waveenergy. Under the scheme, aid will be provided for each kWh of electricity produced and fed into the grid, which will be paid for a duration equal to the useful life of the plants. This is another step in raising the much-needed funding and support scheme’s for new renewable energy technologies. Something which was first acknowledged by the UK when they launched the first-of-its-kind CfD auction in 2014. Italy’s plans are approved by The European Commission as they align with the EU’s #EuropeanGreenDeal and the #REPowerEU Plan objectives and aims to reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels while accelerating the green energy transition. Wavepiston greatly supports the plans from the Italian government and encourages other countries to follow their example.
