| Popis: | In the last 50 years the CO2 emission from combustion of fossil fuels increased more and more being responsible for climate changes. According to Protocol of Doha the European Union decided 20% reduction of CO2 emission levels of 1990 by 2020. This paper describes and analyzes the overall scenario of greenhouse gases emissions from urban, industrial and agricultural activities in the reference year 2011 of a covenant of 13 small towns located in Valle Caudina (about 50.000 citizens) area and proposes strategies to sustainable energy production by valorization of organic wastes locally produced. Strategies to reduce greenhouse gases emissions were based on improving energy efficiency of public and private buildings through thermal insulation, promotion of car sharing and substation of old and polluting cars, promotion of use of bikes, public education campaign etc. Nevertheless, here we limit the discussion to proposals basically aimed at substituting fossil for renewable fuels thus enhancing local production of energy from biomass in order to exploit agricultural and wooded waste which represent a large heritage of the valley. Among projects proposed one involves the chipping of wooded waste and their use as fuel for heating of school buildings. Others involve collection and use of floricultural waste or animal livestock manure for anaerobic digestion to produce biogas to be transformed into thermal and/or electrical energy. |
