(Adnkronos) - Arcovito: “Per realizzare le strade stiamo implementando metodologie che diminuiscono in maniera significativa le emissioni di gas climalteranti, ad esempio abbiamo finito adesso una sperimentazione e siamo riusciti a ridurre di oltre il 40% le emissioni di CO2 per un'infrastruttura stradale” ha detto Claudio Arcovito, responsabile Sostenibilità ANAS, in occasione di Infrastructure Academy 2024, evento tenutosi a Roma con focus su temi di grande attualità come la digitalizzazione, l’innovazione e la sostenibilità.

00:00In the world of infrastructures, we are paying more and more attention to environmental issues,
00:14to resilience, especially to climate change, which has now become an emergency in some ways,
00:23and to everything that concerns, for example, the issue of circular economy, that is, reuse and efficiency of resources.
00:33On this, ANAS is obviously evolving its sustainability strategy in accordance with these objectives.
00:43First of all, we have been introducing protocols already in the design phase,
00:50protocols such as Envision, which allow us to define quantitatively those that can be the benefits of an infrastructure on the territory.
01:01The dialogue with the territory is also now fundamental.
01:04Before we get to the project, we must understand what is the project that meets the needs of the territory.
01:12In this, we have a dialogue that is continuous and constant, both in the pre-definition phase of those that are the requirements,
01:20and then later, obviously, also with means such as the public debate,
01:24we face each other, obviously, to always try to have a better project,
01:29both for those that are the requirements and obviously for what is the environmental impact.
01:34Regarding the realization phase, we are also implementing methodologies to realize the roads,
01:43which, for example, significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
01:51We have managed, for example, compared to standard methodologies, to reduce by 40%.
01:58We have just finished an experiment.
02:01We have managed to reduce by more than 40% the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere for the realization of a road infrastructure.
02:11Obviously, in addition to this, there is also the issue of the end-of-life of an infrastructure,
02:17and in this, even the recent environmental criteria, which were minimal,
02:23which were published last August, pay close attention to what is the analysis of the so-called Life Cycle Assessment.
02:32Therefore, the infrastructure is already designed, designed and realized,
02:37not only in its use phase, but also in the end-of-life,
02:42when tomorrow, perhaps, the infrastructure will have to be dismantled and then renewed.
