The role of pilot projects in the energy transition
Pilot projects represent a crucial phase for testing and validating innovative solutions in real contexts. These projects make it possible to experiment with emerging technologies on a small scale, allowing us to collect data and feedback necessary to optimize solutions before their implementation on a large scale. In particular, green hydrogen is gaining attention as one of the keys to the energy transition, helping to reduce carbon emissions and promote the use of renewable sources

The green hydrogen project in Tunisia
During the recent Business Forum at Villa Madama, Salvatore Bernabei, director of Enel Green Power and Thermal Generation, highlighted the importance of pilot projects, citing the initiative in Tunisia for the production of green hydrogen. This project, carried out in collaboration with the Tunisian government and Eni, represents a concrete example of how international partnerships can lead to sustainable solutions. Bernabei emphasized that the initiative is part of the Mattei Plan, which aims to strengthen energy integration between North Africa and Europe, with Italy as the central hub

A sustainable future through collaboration
The collaboration between Enel, Eni and the Tunisian government reflects a shared commitment to promoting innovative solutions to address global energy challenges. Green hydrogen is seen as a crucial element for the energy transition, as it offers a clean alternative to fossil fuels. As demand for sustainable energy increases, projects such as the one in Tunisia can serve as a model for other similar initiatives around the world. The growing focus on renewable energy and green hydrogen is not only a response to environmental challenges, but also an opportunity to stimulate economic growth and create jobs in the energy sector.
