One of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century is the search for sustainable energy sources able of meeting the growing global demand. This increase is driven primarily by the exponential rise in population, the continuous expansion of technological infrastructure (such as cloud computing) and the economic growth of developing nations. At the same time, the need to address climate change is becoming ever more urgent, as evidenced by rising global temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events caused by greenhouse gas emissions. The resulting dual pressure, the rising energy demand and the environmental imperatives, has accelerated the energy transition, fostering a shift away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy technologies.
