Abstract

A methodology focused on technology evaluation is proposed to give a footprint of the development potential of energy technologies in Italy. The approach focuses on the impact on climate, the potential in terms of R&D, the competitiveness of Italian companies and their diffusion on the territory. A reference Catalogue was realised in the framework of the ‘Technical Board on Decarbonisation of the Economy’, established by the Italian Presidency of the Council of Ministers. 36 datasheets, containing quantitative and qualitative information on Technology Readiness Level (TRL), efficiency, environmental and economic impacts and policy aspects were filled by 70 experts for each technology. Some data were extracted from the Catalogue - TRL, CO2 emissions, developers, and centres of excellence - and further analysed with other information relating to the Italian production and innovation system collected from the National Enterprise Registry (ASIA). Companies and research centres are involved in development of technologies based on Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Energy Storage (ES) with different levels of TRL and high potential for mitigating effects on climate. However, their distribution shows a rather inhomogeneous presence at territorial level. This evaluation provided useful elements to elaborate policy measures to support the diffusion of energy technologies.

评估能源技术对意大利生产系统脱碳的潜在贡献的技术评估方法

提出了一种侧重于技术评估的方法，以了解意大利能源技术的发展潜力。该方法侧重于对气候的影响、研发潜力、意大利公司的竞争力及其在该地区的扩散。参考目录是在意大利部长会议主席国设立的“经济脱碳技术委员会”框架内实现的。每项技术的70名专家填写了36份数据表，其中包含关于技术准备水平、效率、环境和经济影响以及政策方面的定量和定性信息。从目录中提取了一些数据——TRL、二氧化碳排放量、开发商和卓越中心——并与从国家企业登记处收集的与意大利生产和创新系统有关的其他信息一起进行了进一步分析。公司和研究中心参与开发基于可再生能源（RES）和储能（ES）的技术，这些技术具有不同的TRL水平，对缓解气候影响的潜力很大。然而，它们的分布在领土一级显示出相当不均匀的存在。这项评价为制定支持能源技术推广的政策措施提供了有益的内容。

期刊介绍： The journal is an international interdisciplinary journal in Sustainable Energy Planning and Management combining engineering and social science within Energy System Analysis, Feasibility Studies and Public Regulation. The journal especially welcomes papers within the following three focus areas: Energy System analysis including theories, methodologies, data handling and software tools as well as specific models and analyses at local, regional, country and/or global level. Economics, Socio economics and Feasibility studies including theories and methodologies of institutional economics as well as specific feasibility studies and analyses. Public Regulation and management including theories and methodologies as well as specific analyses and proposals in the light of the implementation and transition into sustainable energy systems.
