«The issue of energy – explain Filippa and Dalla Rosa – is central for Italy and its independence must be a point of arrival. The need to accelerate decarbonisation and the impact of geopolitical tensions on energy security have started a necessary reflection on what the future of energy could be. On May 10, at the end of the annual meeting of the San Giulio Consortium, we will discuss, in compliance with the European taxonomy and the principle of technological neutrality, the increase in renewable energy, the increase in national production of methane gas, the affirmation of biogas and biofuels, the development of the hydrogen carrier and the possible future development of clean and safe nuclear energy”.
