Part of today Key – Energy Transfer ExpoThe Italian Exhibition Group event that converts the Rameni Exhibition District to all the privileged phase by Friday 7th March Technologies for transfer and energy performance. An edition that promises to break its record, which begins with the number of exhibitors’ brands: more than a thousand, increases more than 20 % compared to 2024. There will be more than 30 %, more than 30 % international.
ElsandraThe Green and Technology Division, Director of the Italian Exhibition Group’s World Exhibition, told us about the main novels of this edition and its important role.‘Artificial intelligenceDeal ‘Hydrogen And Renewable sources In the future of energy.
What are the actual focus of the 2025 edition of the key – energy transfer expo?
This is definitely the largest edition we have done to date, which has increased more than a thousand exhibitors and international people, who now represent more than 30 %. The key is standing for its interim on energy transfer, with seven themes areas that cover more and more products of the product. In addition, we have a predicted offer full of content with more 160 conferences in three days, Who deal with the study of international speakers and successful houses with extreme conditions and issues of interest.
In the main news, the project exists su.port – sustainable ports for energy transferTo reduce the emission, focus on the role of the port platform’s power and ports, such as offshore wind, which will also accumulate turbines for wind parks. In the coming years, the sector will develop largely, which has to achieve 34 % of the union’s foreign energy production by 2030.
Another great theme will be hisEnergy performanceWhich is the first fuel of transition and improves improvement. In 2024, globally, energy -saving rates have only increased by 1 %, but we must definitely improve the goals that the Italian PNRR asks us. With Case Green DirectionEnergy efficiency in buildings will play an important role, but it will also be fundamental in industries and production processes.
Hydrogen is another key topic of this edition. What progress do we have to expect?
Green hydrogen will be a major energy transfer driver. This year we have expanded the exhibition area thanks to mutual support Hanveer Fair International Aumat (HFI)Deutsche -AG’s Italian branch, seeing that Germany is far away in research. Italy has a new national strategy about hydrogen and is developing the valley hydrogen, which is under construction and will have to work by 2026. There is also a project. South Hydrogen CorridorItaly sees it as a European center for hydrogen transport and storage. The key we will discuss industrial hydrogen applications, especially in the fields of manufacture and energy production. The focus will also be focused on the needy costs and infrastructure challenges.
Another topic is that of artificial intelligence applied to the energy sector. What role can IA play to improve renewable sources and energy management?
Artificial intelligence will play a decisive role in the energy transfer. At the festival, we will offer a number of solutions from consulting tools to modern software, which will apply to various energy sectors. We will have a number of panels dedicated to this topic, which will especially deal with the correction and reduction of CO2 emissions through one. The best use of energy In buildings and Monitoring intelligent use Corporate.
Also offers an extraordinary opportunity for artificial intelligenceIndustry ManufacturingWhere it can help in production efficiency and waste reduction. I Off -shore sectorInstead, IA is essential to collect and analyze the weather marine data at every stage of wind farm development, from maximum site identification to turbines performance calculations. The reliability of the data is very important and the IA allows you to take a lot of action on a unique precision information.
There is another circle of application Maintenance of forecastsNecessary for, for Smart City And strategic infrastructure. Thanks to the AI, it is possible to interfere with the failures before key problems and improve the efficiency and safety of energy networks and urban services.
Not only key, but also Ecomono: Fair attracts more and more operators and international investors. What solid opportunities do they offer?
Festivals are no longer exhibit events, but are real “community catalists”, a ‘Offer extensive training and information. Our international profession is strongly strong: We have increased international presence through a regional adviser network on the central markets, a very powerful international average campaign and alliance with strategic agreements and central international associations. We will bring about 350 350 qualified host buyers from more than 50 countries. We offer business meetings not only with suppliers and new users, but also Networking and trainingKey elements for the positioning of companies in the global market. In this edition, there is Startups and space for modern projectsTo create opportunities for dialogue between big players and new emerging facts.
How is Italy’s position, compared to the growing participation of foreign countries and the offer of modern projects in the energy sector? Are we moving in the right direction to achieve the goals of the European Green Deal or are we late than other countries?
Italy is a huge manufacturing country and holds a key position in the European energy scene. We are definitely not in the last places in the energy transfer race, really, really, 2024 was a record year For our country. We have recorded a nearly 30 % increase in renewable energy installed capacity compared to 2023, resulting in significant growth in the sector. Specifically, Italy is actually included in the top five European countries for investmentSolar energyAn area in which we have become a real force, and that too Air An important development is taking place.
There was also the year of 2024 BatterySince expanding the deposit capacity has become an essential strategic factor. Renewable energy, according to its nature, is intermittent, and our aim is to develop a large storage system to ensure stability in the power network. In the key we devote enough space to these problems, because Renewable sources They not only represent the solution of environmental and social stability, but also for that Economic competition Of our country
Italy has a lot of ability, It is a country full of sun, wind and natural resources that should be exploited and appreciated. This is an important point: Key is a basic showcase To show how renewable sources can be More durable Not only from a social and climate point of view, but also economic.
Looking forward to 2025, what are the most essential challenges to accelerate energy transfer?
One of the major challenges is to combat energy transfer. We are a huge manufacturing countryBut energy costs in Italy are more than decisive than other European Union countries, so it is very important to guarantee stability and predictions, so companies make it clear what the scens are. Acceleration on renewable sources must be done, which not only Low costsMaa They include, they create employmentAnd Reduce the environmental effects.
