The EU Projects Zone Podcast: BD4NRG with Massimo Bertoncini
This podcast focuses on BD4NRG, a project that is about unlocking and exploiting the economic potential of big data for the energy sector.

In this episode of the EU Projects Zone Podcast, Areti Ntaradimou is joined by Massimo Bertoncini to talk about the idea behind the BD4NRG project, how the team approached it, and finally the purpose of the project.
BD4NRG is an EU-funded project that focuses on unlocking and exploiting the economic potential of big data for the energy sector.
Massimo pointed out that while big data presents opportunities, it can also introduce challenges, particularly in the context of electricity grids. "The electricity grid could become more and more efficient in a landscape where renewable energy is playing a more prominent role," he said.
One of the main challenges that energy companies face nowadays, however, is according to Massimo "the capability to manage enormous amounts of data sets".
Listen to this episode of the EU Projects Zone Podcast and hear from Massimo Bertoncini how BD4NRG will stand as a testament to the potential of data sharing in shaping a more efficient and sustainable energy future.
