Nuclear power versus marine energy: the ongoing discussion on our platform
"Get ready to dive into Italy's energy revolution talk! This conversation's gonna pop off this Monday, May 5th, at Ogr during "New Energies", our website's debate centered around transition struggles, tech innovation, and eco-friendly policies.
The main event's star is Gilberto Pichetto Fratin, Italy's Minister of Environment and Energy Security, who'll map out the government's decarbonization plan and update us on the imminent nuclear power revitalization law. The national energy policy overhaul will be our main topic, with a special eye on the role new-gen nuclear power could play.
Nuclear Power: The Future or Not?
Physicist and CERN researcher Stefano Buono, founder of newcleo, is a major player here. With a focus on forward thinking, energy security, and less waste, he'll talk about next-gen fast reactors cooled with lead, which can use existing nuclear waste and plutonium as fuel. Geologist and science communicator Mario Tozzi will offer a contrasting view, delving into environmental risks and discussing alternatives for renewable energy.
Academic Musings & Startup Strides
Stefano Paolo Corgnati, Rector of the Polytechnic of Turin, will highlight Turin's research prowess in the sustainability field, putting a spotlight on international collaborations. Giuliana Mattiazzo, Vice-Rector and MorEnergy Lab coordinator, will discuss offshore wind, wave energy, and the new startup ecosystem surrounding the University.
Industry Innovations in Energy Storage
Francesco Oppici, co-founder of Energy Dome, will showcase his startup's long-duration energy storage technology, which uses liquid and gaseous carbon dioxide to store energy generated from intermittent sources like solar and wind. Making the system more stable, resilient, and eco-friendly. Lastly, Giorgio Gori, Vice-President of the European Commission for Industry, Research, and Energy, and Luca Dal Fabbro, President of Iren, will round off the discussion.
The Meetup
Andrea Malaguti, director of our website, Giuseppe Bottero, deputy director, and journalist Giulia Ricci will lead the conversation. The event unfolds right now at 4:30 PM in Binario 3 spaces of Ogr, at via Castelfidardo 22. No charge for entry! Just sign up here!"
