INTRODUCTION
energethica - 1st Exhibition for renewable and sustainable energy
May 25-27, 2006 at Genoa-Italy

Energy is at the base of all human development and, if accessible, is an essential growing factor. But if this development is to be sustainable, the way of producing energy will have to be sustainable as well. If this concept is applied, global harm to the environment and waste of natural resources will certainly diminish if not disappear.
Needs and Resources
  • Eithy-seven percent (87%) of the energy used in Italy comes from oil ;
  • Only 2.6% of the energy consumed comes from sustainable sources ;
  • Italy imports 84.6% of the energy it needs
  • Traditional energy sources account for 35% of all the CO2 emissions
  • The European Community impels all the European countries to search for renewable sources of energy .
  

Responsability for CO2 emission

Energy generation : 35%
Transports: 28%
Industry and building: 18%
others: 19%

  

At the heart of the market

The inevitable conclusion from these figures is that Italy has a particular need of small and big systems of energy from renewable sources in order to reduce the impact on the environment and obtain some energy independence. Residential users are becoming more and more aware of this problem and can now have access to this new forms of energy thanks to the subventions program launched by the CE. Italy in general and the Italian Riviera in particular possess a considerable amount of renewable sources, namely, sun, wind, mountain streams, mass from the forests and agriculture, manure from animal farms to transform into biogas, etc.

.

  

This abundance of natural resources are awaiting technology solutions. Genoa is at the heart of this favourable market.

Italian energy dependence

Italian sources: 15.40% Imports: 84.60%
