Francesco Corvaro spent last week in Washington engaging US Department of Energy officials on nuclear fission and fusion, geothermal power and biofuels. He highlighted strong US interest in Italy’s high‑quality supply chain and warned that nuclear power is essential to meet growing electricity demand alongside renewables.

“It was fruitful to engage with experts and policymakers who share a strong commitment to advancing these technologies,” Corvaro noted on LinkedIn. The discussions centred on several issues. Nuclear fission and fusion: Exploring both proven and next‑generation reactors. Geothermal energy: Tapping Earth’s heat for baseload power. Biofuels: Developing sustainable fuels for transport and industry.
