Decarbonising industry through smarter integration: Inside the AGISTIN project

In this episode of the EU Energy Projects Podcast, Gianluca Lipari and Daniel Pombo offer a closer look at how AGISTIN is working to accelerate industrial decarbonisation by focusing on one key element: integration.

At its core, the project explores how energy storage can be seamlessly embedded into industrial processes, alongside local renewable generation such as solar PV. The aim is not only to store energy, but to optimise how it is produced, managed and consumed on-site, whether for green hydrogen production, electric vehicle charging, or even irrigation systems.

What makes this approach particularly relevant today is the shift towards hybrid industrial energy systems. These environments bring together multiple assets - generation, storage and complex industrial loads - which must operate in coordination. AGISTIN addresses this through advanced grid interfaces and DC coupling, enabling these different components to interact more efficiently and with fewer energy losses.
