CPFD, LLC announced that it has entered into a software licensing agreement with ENEA, the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development.
ENEA is a public body aimed at research, technological innovation and the provision of advanced services to enterprises, public administration and citizens in the sectors of energy, the environment and sustainable economic development.
The ZECOMIX (Zero Emission of Carbon with MIXed Technology) European Research infrastructure is an advanced experimental platform dedicated to the development of sustainable technologies for decarbonisation of power and carbon-intensive industries. The Research Infrastructure is conceived with independent experimental sections so that it is possible to study each process separately.
