Main focus areas of R&D on Renewable Energies in Italy
• Energy conservation in buildings (including PVs, FC-based CHP, Intelligent energy management and control,
storage systems, ecodesign, smart grid connection, …)
• Concentrated Solar Power (ENEA technologies based on
molten salts)
• Photovoltaics (SiC based, polymer based, etc.)
• (Bio) solar energy conversion (second/third generation
biofuels, organic photovoltaics, artificial leafs, CO2
reduction into fuels, …)
• Other options: Green cars, smart green energy grids, hydroelectric energy, small wind turbines, …
