According to a study published in the journal Frontiers in Marine Science, conducted by ENEA in collaboration with the CNR and the MedSharks association - which analyzed in detail the spatiotemporal variability of the 2024 thermal anomaly and the mechanisms that determined it - the Mediterranean is experiencing a record-smashing climate phase with record temperatures in both the western and eastern Mediterranean and heat waves, combined with a significant increase in the average kinetic energy of currents, with 2024 recording the highest value in the entire historical series (40 years).

ENEA and the Ministry of Defense have signed an agreement confirming their collaboration for the logistics management of scientific missions in Antarctica, with the Italian Air Force (AMI) ensuring the air transport of personnel, materials and equipment between New Zealand and the Antarctic continent for the entire 41st expedition currently underway.

Promoting the alignment of a fragmented international regulatory framework on the decommissioning of nuclear facilities and the management of radioactive waste was the objective of the HARPERS Project, funded with over €3 million by Euratom. The project involved 30 partners from 14 different countries, including in Italy ENEA, Sogin, Nucleco and CAEN S.p.A.

Developing new multifunctional structures for innovative battery packs and/or cells integrated directly into the chassis of electric vehicles. This is the aim of the MUST project , funded by the Italian Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy to the tune of over €4 million , in which ENEA participates alongside Aerosoft spa (project coordinator) and ATM srl.

ENEA has identified a new indicator of the health of agricultural soils: these are small genetic elements that live inside bacteria, called integrons, which host genes resistant to antibiotics and heavy metals, acting as biomarkers of contamination and environmental pressure. ​The ENEA study, conducted with the University of Tuscia, was published in the journal Agriculture and shows how the structure of these integrons can tell a lot about the health and microbial adaptation of agricultural soils, since they allow microorganisms to acquire, exchange and express those genes that allow rapid adaptation to environmental stressors.

More than 40,000 energy audits were submitted to ENEA during the first decade of the mandatory  requirement (2015–2025)  by approximately 10,000 companies, of which 50% are “large enterprises” and the other half “energy-intensive companies”. Based on these audits, over 1.3 Mtoe (equivalent to the average consumption of more than 4 million households) savings were achieved, thanks to more than 17,000 energy efficiency measures implemented, as shown by the ENEA data presented at the event “Energy audits ten years after the introduction of the obligation”, organized by ENEA and attended by over 400 representatives from companies and sector operators. The data show that nearly 65% of the more than 40,000 energy audits were conducted by manufacturing companies, while approximately 25% by the tertiary sector.
