Supporting the Transition to Sustainable Energy Systems
Sustainable Energy (SE) is FBK's centre for energy research, innovation and outreach. Our mission is to support the development and the adoption of low-carbon and zero-emission solutions for the production, distribution and storage of energy that minimize environmental impact and contribute to the deep decarbonization of our society.
To advance this mission, SE conducts R&D and innovation projects in collaboration with industry, academia and public institutions in the energy sector. Our vision is grounded in the global and European decarbonization targets, which demand for increased energy efficiency and wide penetration of renewables enabled by sector coupling, use of new energy vectors and innovative storage solutions as enablers of the clean energy transition.
Vision
Vision
SE believes that the efficient and effective implementation of innovative energy solutions will contribute to balance our ecological footprint and grant a sustainable future for the next generations.
SE promotes R&I on new energy solutions, targeting technology transfer in collaboration with partners at industrial and territorial levels. SE aims at contributing to FBK mission: to achieve results of scientific excellence and to produce an impact on society.
Mission
Mission
SE aims to support the development of low-carbon and zero-emission solutions for the production, distribution and storage of energy that minimize environmental impact and enhance climate resilience.
To this end, SE offers its know-how, expertise, and facilities in the energy field to help developing new methods, models and technology that can improve the efficiency and flexibility of energy systems in a sustainable and cost-effective way.
Research Areas
The SE Centre performs R&D in four main areas:
research on advanced materials and surface engineering for low carbon energy solutions;
battery storage technologies (redox flow & next generation battery chemistries);
hydrogen technologies (fuel cells, electrolysers, storage solutions, end-uses in hard-to-abate sectors);
new tools and integrated solutions supporting the transition to flexible, sustainable and smart energy territories.
Value Proposition
We apply our expertise in energy systems and technologies to support our partners in developing innovative solutions for a sustainable energy transition. We provide technological and management support throughout the entire R&D process.
Our core competences include:
design, prototyping and validation of new energy technology;
modeling and simulation of energy systems;
characterization of materials and components;
technology scouting and technology assessment;
project preparation and management
