An ENEA-Assovetro study published in the international journal Gases proposes seven technological solutions for decarbonizing Italy's glass industry, tailored to the Italian context and aligned with the goal of climate neutrality by 2050.

“This study analyses the decarbonization of the glass industry, an energy-intensive sector, through an integrated approach designed to align with specific national circumstances” said Assovetro President Marco Ravasi.

ENEA is developing nuclear fuels that are ready for reuse, thereby reducing the amount of waste to be managed and implementing the principles of the circular economy in this sector too.

The ENEA Bologna Research Center is designing the manufacturing plants for these latest-generation fuels, capable of improving the safety, sustainability, and costs of nuclear energy. Such fuels, like nitrides, are a key element in the operation of a nuclear plant and in various education and training activities to train new generations of European researchers.

During the high-level “Taking the Lead” event on EAGLES-300, Belgian Minister of Energy Mathieu Bihet today announced the cooperation between the European EAGLES consortium -with partners Ansaldo Nucleare, ENEA, RATEN and SCK CEN- and the French company newcleo. Both parties are committed to the development and future commercialization of lead-cooled Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and will now work together on the realisation of LEANDREA. This limited-power reactor is expected to be completed by 2034 at the site of the Belgian Nuclear Research Centre SCK CEN in Belgium.

At the start the first Spring School Brasimone on nuclear energy, an experimental open innovation programme promoted by the Metropolitan City and Municipality of Bologna, in collaboration with ENEA and newcleo. Applications are open until 28 February 2026.

The ‘restorer’ bacteria from the ENEA microbial collection have become an integral part of contemporary artworks thanks to a project by artist Alessia Forconi, who created two marble sculptures, Gea and Linfa, using live microorganisms.
