In this interview of the “Forward Thinkers’ Talks Series (c),” conducted by Dr. Ivo Pezzuto, Professor of Global Economics and Digital and Sustainable Innovation at ISM Paris/New York and Founder and Director of the Ivo Pezzuto Forward-Thinking Lab, he interviews Lorenzo Carnelli, CEO, Board Member and Shareholder of FRIEM, Italy.

FRIEM is a seventy-year-old company pursuing bold and environmentally friendly growth strategies in the global electric energy converter market. The firm specializes in the design and production of electrical converters for special applications. FRIEM’s mission revolves around utilizing renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, to generate electricity for the electrolysis process. 

Green hydrogen has the potential to decarbonize a whole host of industries (including aviation, fertilizer, long-haul trucking, maritime shipping, construction, petrochemicals, refining, and steel). These are some of the worst emitters of greenhouse gases, defined as “hard-to-abate” industries. 
The company holds a central position in the green hydrogen supply chain between renewable energy producers and end users, both in the power-to-gas and gas-to-power processes, therefore it benefits from a unique perspective on the green hydrogen ecosystem. 

In this article, FRIEM's CEO explains why he believes that a concerted effort of bold investments in green hydrogen; forward-looking energy policies, and an effective energy mix can lead to a more resilient, environmentally friendly, and sustainable growth model in the future.
