BluEnergy Revolution
Thomas Lamberti is CEO and one of the founders of the company. He graduated as Naval Architect and Marine Engineer in 2012 and immediately started to specialise his training in the marine applications of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen with various research contracts with the University of Genova (UNIGE) in collaboration with Fincantieri. He took his PhD in Fuel Cell and Hydrogen engineering in 2018 and has been committed to the company since the beginning. He's member of Task 39 of IEA and member of Hydrogen Europe. Alessandro Sorce is a PhD Engineer specialized in energy systems with fuel cells and micro-turbines, he's working as Researcher at the UNIGE and following the company research projects. Stefano Barberis (Eng. PhD) and Lorenzo Di Fresco (Eng. PhD) are respectively working with RINA (Italian Classification Society) and Uni. Milano. The professors A. Massardo, L. Magistri and A. Traverso are the scientific supervisor of the team, with proven public expertise.
Energy Storage. Batteries lack the energy capacity, energy density, require the use of critical raw materials and have a poor LCA. BER wants to develop a system (Energy Pack) usable for many applications, that exploiting the hydrogen technology is able to store and produce energy without polluting. The spinoff company H2B integrates the energy pack on board sailboats and motoryacht increasing the GHGs free electric energy, increasing comfort in a sustainable way.
The socio-cultural impact and its trend are measurable through the KPI: #companies, #employees, # research projects, # events, # publications, #products. From an environmental point of view, all the research and development activities revolve around hydrogen technology as a future solution for reducing the environmental impact of humans activities on the environment. It is possible to establish indexes for the reduction of polluting gases produced by sailing boats and motor yachts that will use the Energy Pack system, which is being standardized and which will be put on sale in 2021. Respectively for a sailing boat (10 kW) and a motor yacht (60 kW): 2.1-15 kgCO2 / h saved; 20.8-124.5 gSOx / h saved; 40-240 gNOx / h saved.
