It’s not the future. It’s now

Knowledge for a changing energy landscape

From our research

Some projects and innovations that turn knowledge into solutions

Sustainable biofuels

Turns biological waste into clean biofuels by combining innovative technologies to reduce CO₂ and create sustainable energy for the future of transportation.

Clean hydrogen

Developing innovative reactors powered by renewable energy to convert methane into clean hydrogen and advanced materials, reducing emissions and costs.

Energy from the Sun

Integrate combinatorial approaches, experimental techniques, and machine learning methods to more quickly identify materials useful for the energy transition.

CO₂ management and reduction

Develop new routes and infrastructure to capture, transport, and store CO₂, accelerating the transition to a zero-emission Europe.

  • The sea abacus for generating energy from waves

    SeAbacus is a floating converter that captures energy from all directions, remains efficient even in low-energy conditions, and can be installed in farms at various depths.

  • Abiotic biofuel cell for energy generation

    An innovative system capable of generating direct current from organic waste materials from the agri-food industry.

  • From bioethanol to jet fuel

    An innovative process converts ethanol from biomass into jet fuel blends, offering a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels.

  • Wireless, scalable, and versatile energy

    An advanced wireless system for transferring energy efficiently and safely, eliminating cables and customizing power delivery.

Exhibitions and performances

Palazzo Poggi hosts the exhibition on Bologna FC’s student players

Who brought the first football to Bologna? Who introduced the club’s red-and-blue colours? Staged in the heart of the University, the exhibition traces the pivotal role played by students in bringing football to Bologna, from the earliest matches, featuring “a handful of madmen chasing a ball” on the Prati di Caprara, to the foundation and early triumphs of Bologna FC.

Environment and life

Rising temperatures affect sex ratio at birth

A large-scale survey of five million births in 33 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and India shows that exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage, particularly for male foetuses.

Technological frontiers

The blockchain paradox and a new idea of “trust” in digital ecosystems

In the new digital systems that make it possible to record information in a secure, transparent and unalterable way, trust is not eliminated, but reconfigured through technological protocols, governance mechanisms and relationships between the various actors involved.

Alpine ibex and climate change: new findings from prehistoric archaeology

A new multidisciplinary study, led by researchers at Unibo, Unimore and MUSE – the Trento Museum of Science, has reconstructed the evolutionary history and relationship with the environment of a population of Alpine ibex (Capra ibex) that lived in the mountains of Trentino more than 13,000 years ago.
