A long history to face the challenges of the future in the energy sector in Italy 1952: Was established the National Committee for Nuclear Research 1960: The Committee became CNEN (National Committee for nuclear energy), to promote the diffusion of nuclear energy in Italy 1982: The Committee was transformed in ENEA, assuming the task of dealing with all types of energy 1991: Due to referendum result on nuclear energy, the activity in the nuclear field was limited to a monitoring of the international evolution of this technology, continuing to deal with the other types of energy On the 23rd of July, 2009, the Law n. 99/2009 assigned to ENEA the role of the Italian “ Agency for New Technology, Energy, and Economic Sustainable Development ” operating in the fields of energy - with a particular focus on nuclear energy - sustainable economic development and new technologies in order to support competitiveness and sustainable development policies at the national level MISSION: “ supporting Italian energy policy through the promotion and innovation of sustainable technologies ” MATS Project Kick-off Meeting 3/9 ENEA, Rome, 25 – 26 July 2011

ENEA-ARST scientific cooperation In 2009 ENEA and ARST signed a MoU, under the auspices of the Italian Ministry of Economic Development and the Egyptian Ministries of Research and of Energy “… to develop power plants to generate electricity, on the basis of new technologies … .with the aim of making Egypt an important pole for the generation and distribution of solar energy …” MATS Project Kick-off Meeting 5/9 ENEA, Rome, 25 – 26 July 2011
MATS: Multipurpose Applications by Thermodynamic Solar MATS project is focused on the innovative CSP technology developed by ENEA as an improvement of its Solar Thermodynamic technology, based on molten salts as Heat Transfer Fluid and Heat Storage Fluid. It allows combined heat and power production from solar source integrated with renewable fuels, such as biomass or biogas. MATS Project Kick-off Meeting 6/9 ENEA, Rome, 25 – 26 July 2011
