David Serrano, Director of IMDEA Energía, Contributes to EASAC Report on Europe’s Energy Supply Security
In April, the European Academies’ Science Advisory Council (EASAC) published a report on the Security of Sustainable Energy Supply in Europe. This document has gained particular relevance following the power outage that occurred on 28 April across the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the vulnerabilities of current energy systems and the urgent need to strengthen their resilience. The report directly […]
How to Guarantee the Stability of Power Grids with a Dominant Share of Renewables
How to Guarantee the Stability of Power Grids with a Dominant Share of Renewables One of the most important lessons we have learned as engineers over the years is that there are no perfect or infallible systems. Every system, no matter how sophisticated, operates within limits defined by its specifications. When it moves beyond that […]

Can we control the breaking of chemical bonds to revolutionize molecular engineering?
Oxidation chemistry plays a fundamental role in both synthetic chemistry (the kind carried out in laboratories to create new compounds) and biological chemistry (the kind that occurs in living organisms). These processes have a well-defined reactivity, which means altering them to produce different reactions is difficult and usually requires complex steps. A clear example of […]
IMDEA Energy at the 14th edition of Madrid es Ciencia with science, magic and live experiments
Once again, IMDEA Energy participated in the Madrid es Ciencia fair, organized by the Madrid+d Foundation at IFEMA from March 27 to 29. During the event, we received visits from the Regional Minister of Education, Science, and Universities, Emilio Viciana, and the Deputy Minister of Universities, Research, and Science, Ana Ramírez, who were able to […]
Antibiotics Are Reaching Our Faucets: Can We Stop It?
Many people are unaware that the water they consume may contain antibiotics, which can contribute to the development of resistance in infection treatments. These drugs are now found in various bodies of water due to their indiscriminate and irresponsible use. Studies have detected their presence in concentrations ranging from 100 to 50 nanograms (billionths of […]
Students from the EOI visit IMDEA Energy to learn about advances in hydrogen and renewable fuels
