(Adnkronos) - Nuovo calore pulito dal termovalorizzatore Rea Dalmine per ampliare il teleriscaldamento A2A di Bergamo. "La rete di Bergamo potrà 'spegnere' migliaia di caldaiette, con riduzione di Co2 pari a 15mila tonnellate, equivalenti a circa centomila alberi" è il commento di Marco Sperandio presidente di Rea Dalmine.

00:00Today we have arrived at the completion of a project whose initial idea was born in 2016.
00:14It was developed in 2019 and finally we have completed the work that will allow,
00:21thanks to this industrial collaboration between Rea d'Almine and A2A Calore Servizi,
00:26to provide green heat, i.e. heat recovery and waste, to the Bergamo heating grid,
00:36which will be able to turn off several thousand heaters,
00:41with a CO2 reduction balance equivalent to about 100,000 trees,
00:47which means 15,000 tons of CO2 removed from the environment and from the city of Bergamo every year.
00:53This system was born as an idea at the end of the 90s,
00:58when the Lombardy region was facing a crisis of waste.
01:03The waste from the Lombardy region, in those years, did not find enough space in Italy
01:08and was even exported abroad.
01:11The initiative, totally private, initially at the service of the city and the province of Bergamo,
01:18has therefore allowed the self-sufficiency of the entire province of Bergamo
01:24in the valorization, which until now has been exclusively for the production of electricity,
01:31of the waste from the province.
01:34Over the years, this opportunity also arose to increase the efficiency of the recovery of the system,
01:43which, as I said before, was essentially an energy efficiency,
01:48therefore the production of electricity.
01:50To give you an idea, we produce the equivalent of the civil consumption of the entire city of Bergamo,
01:57thus also implementing heat supply.
02:01This is one of the plants, from the point of view of the quality of the most efficient emissions in Italy and Europe,
02:09with levels of polluting emissions ranging from 60% to 99% lower than the current limits of the European Union.
