Corrado Panzeri

The strategic study prepared in collaboration with ENI, “Proposal for a Zero Carbon technology roadmap”, was presented in Brussels on November 10, 2022, and in Rome on February 9, 2023.

This Study was realised with the involvement of 13 global key experts, 41 leading European companies and an extensive analysis of 185 sources of academic-managerial literature, with the aim of promoting a principle of technological neutrality in Europe in the field of decarbonisation, in which the synergic and complementary contribution of all available technologies needs to be exploited to reach the Zero Carbon target.

What is needed is a change of pace of the decarbonisation process of our society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions faster than hitherto, multiplying the rate of reduction of the last decade by four times to reach net zero emissions in 2050, without sacrificing welfare and social equity. To this end, research and technological development are our most important allies.
