Europe’s tire waste production is 3 million tonnes per year; currently 65% to 70% of used tires end up in landfills. Tires have a better heating value than biomass or coal, and they contain a high content of volatile gasses. A prototype plant is now under construction at the ENEA facilities in Trisaia in Southern Italy.

Enel has inaugurated an industrial-scale hydrogen-fuelled combined cycle power plant at Fusina (Venice, Italy). The efficiency of the process is increased by taking the heat from the emissions in order to generate high-temperature steam, which is sent to the nearby coal-fired plant to generate an additional 4 MW of power capacity.

Obama is at the G8 meeting in Italy to discuss the global warming crisis with other world leaders. Brave environmental activists from Greenpeace actually took a bold climate initiative today, doing so in my grandfather’s homeland of Italy, where they occupied four coal-fired power plants. Stop global warming.

based TerraPower and London- and Italy-based Newcleo should be safer and simpler to operate than conventional reactors. Launched in 2021, the company has designed a lead-cooled reactor that aims to produce its own fuel by recycling the by-products of conventional reactors, “offering a circular solution to nuclear waste,” he says.

tonnes are still below the EU-27 average, but now equal those of Italy. Between 1990 and 2010 they reduced their dependence on coal (from 25% to 20% of total energy production) and oil (from 38% to 36.5%), and shifted towards natural gas (which increased from 23% to 27 %), nuclear energy (from 8% to 9%) and renewable energy (from 6.5%
