On October 2, the researcher of the Center for Sustainable Energy at Fondazione Bruno Kessler Elena Crespi gave a talk at  “Watt’s Next”. The event was organised bySpeck&Tech during theWired Next Fest in Roveretoand aimed to guide the audience through the complex landscape of the energy transition, between the promises of green hydrogen and the broader challenges of building a sustainable future.

Elena Crespi’s talk, immediately captured the audience’s attention explaining how this molecule is already indirectly part of our daily lives, and how its production—largely reliant on fossil fuels—carries a significant environmental cost.

The researcher led the audience into the world of electrolyzers, devices that generate hydrogen and oxygen from water using electricity—preferably from renewable sources, and explained the testing campaigns done at FBK’s laboratories.

SYRIUS Project was taken as example of project demonstrating that green hydrogen is a key resource for the energy transition as it offers a concrete path to decarbonizing “hard-to-abate” sectors such as steel and refining, where alternatives are still lacking.
