There is a huge gap between the broad concept of circular economy (CE) and its practical implementation in industrial sector due to several types barriers, which shall be led back lack consistent precise information about resources, products, processes. Without proper flow, it impossible quantify initiatives, both comparison with actual linear situation or alternative opportunities. A quantification initiatives allows assessment economic, environmental social benefits preventative...

The growing rate of electricity generation from renewables is leading to new operational and management issues on the power grid because generated exceeds local requirements transportation or storage capacities are inadequate. An interesting option that under investigation by several years opportunity use renewable surplus electrolyzers split water into its component parts, with hydrogen being directly injected natural gas pipelines for both transportation. This innovative approach merges...
To inject green hydrogen (H2) into the existing natural gas (NG) infrastructure is one way to decarbonize European energy system. However, asset readiness necessary be successful. Preliminary analysis and experimental results about compatibility of mixtures (H2NG) with actual grids make scientific community confident feasibility. Nevertheless, specific technical questions need more research. A significant topic debate impact H2NG on performance state-of-the-art fiscal measuring devices,...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a flexible and extensible model for the classification suppliers, within purchasing guidelines market trends an Italian small company, leader in production street lamps. applied identify critical supply chains with final objective lead-time reduction. Design/methodology/approach obtained by application portfolio analysis through construction Kraljic matrix. Profit impact risk criteria are selected according main company requirements, then...
New technological solutions are required to control the impact of increasing presence renewable energy sources connected electric grid that characterized by unpredictable production (i.e., wind and solar energy). Energy storage is becoming essential stabilize when a mismatch between demand occurs. Among available solutions, Power Hydrogen (P2H) one most attractive options. However, despite potential, many barriers currently hinder P2H market development. The literature reports general...
Among renewable energy sources, the electrical generation at urban level from micro-wind turbines has not yet disclosed its potential. The increasing spread of may promote only decentralized energy, but also helps to achieve reductions in emission greenhouse gases (GHGs) and support transition transport system electrification. However, one barriers for diffusion settlements is difficulty estimate feasibility based on local wind resource, which highly site-specific less predictable than other...
Optimizing the hydrogen value chain is essential to ensure market uptake in replacing traditional fossil fuel energy and achieve system decarbonization next years. The design of new plants infrastructures will be first step. However, wrong decisions would result temporal, economic losses and, worst case, failures. Because huge investments are expected, decision makers have assisted for its success. no tools available optimum geographical location power gas (P2G) (P2H) plants, geographic...
Abstract Hydrogen and regional energy infrastructure are significant for the European Green Deal was focus of SuperP2G research Project (Synergies Utilising renewable Power Regionally by means to Gas). Five national projects (Denmark, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy) cooperated investigate power-to-gas feasibility. The crisis due war in Ukraine peaked during project. demand green hydrogen increased as natural gas reduced. In 2022, cost blue 9.5–12.6 €/kg. Higher electricity prices...
Hydrogen has been identified as an essential energy carrier for a future low-carbon economy. However, recent studies have highlighted the indirect impact of hydrogen emissions on climate change, emphasizing necessity quantifying emissions. It is within this framework that NHyRA project being carried out. The European consortium 14 entities aims to assess potential current and throughout its entire chain value (from production end uses), develop methods detect measure these provide inventory...
