Partner presentation 🤝

IMDEA is a research initiative driven by the Regional Government of Madrid (Spain) and formed by a network of independent centres which operate as public non-profit foundations. IMDEA Energy is part of the IMDEA network since its creation in November 2006. Its mission is the promotion of R&D activities in energy, with emphasis on topics related to sustainable energy technologies, including their analysis from technical, economic, environmental and social perspectives.  

The Systems Analysis Unit of IMDEA Energy has a strong background in the technoeconomic, environmental and social assessment of a wide range of energy systems, especially hydrogen-related ones. The research team is composed by a group of experts on the development and use of modelling and simulation tools, life cycle sustainability assessment, and prospective analysis.  

Within NIMPHEA, IMDEA Energy leads WP6 on “techno-economic, environmental and risk assessment”. In particular, IMDEA Energy leads NIMPHEA tasks on environmental life-cycle assessment, life-cycle costing, and eco-efficiency benchmarking.  

“The IMDEA Energy team is in charge of studying the sustainability of the systems developed in the NIMPHEA project looking at releasing environmentally friendly and socially responsible systems.”

“The IMDEA Energy team has a wide experience in sustainability assessment of hydrogen systems applied to different sectors but its participation in NIMPHEA will broaden its expertise to the aviation one.”
