Скачать или смотреть Hydrogen in Real Estate - Data Centers & Waste Heat - Adamo Screnci - Hydrogen Leader Podcast

In this Episode of The Hydrogen Leader Podcast, Adamo Screnci discusses his new role at IDEC Group, where he leads IDEC Italy and the group’s energy strategy, linking energy systems with real estate and building operations. With a background in electrochemistry, business training (including INSEAD), and experience across hydrogen initiatives and organizations like Hydrogen Europe and DII, Screnci describes his leadership style as listening-first, pragmatic, and focused on measurable, market-driven transition.
He explains hydrogen’s role as an energy “vector,” not a primary source, and highlights how falling renewable electricity costs have made hydrogen attractive for storage, transport, fuels, and chemicals. He sees strong potential in integrating energy solutions into buildings—such as solar PV, storage, EV charging, and possibly hydrogen—especially in logistics hubs, industrial clusters, ports, and data centers.
Screnci cautions against hydrogen hype, arguing that projects must be application- and region-specific, economically viable, and built around clear customer demand rather than speculation. He emphasizes the importance of regulation, stable offtake agreements, and affordable electricity, pointing to examples like green steel, SAF, and large-scale projects in the Middle East and Europe. He concludes by calling for clearer communication, smarter market mechanisms, and stronger collaboration to accelerate the energy transition.
