Passi avanti sulle biomasse in Lombardia: Fiper esprime apprezzamento

Se si parla di transizione energetica e di fonti rinnovabili, Fiper c’è: nella giornata di ieri abbiamo infatti partecipato alla riunione del Tavolo istituzionale dell’Osservatorio per l’Economia Circolare e la Transizione Energetica di Regione Lombardia. 
Esprimiamo apprezzamento per i passi avanti che abbiamo potuto riscontrare all’interno del PREAC (Programma Regionale Energia, Ambiente e Clima) nell’approccio al tema delle biomasse nelle zone alpine e pedemontane: siamo felici che si sottolinei lo stretto legame, da noi sempre evidenziato e ribadito, che esiste tra teleriscaldamento a biomassa, riduzione delle emissioni in atmosfera, prevenzione del dissesto idrogeologico e sviluppo locale attraverso un sistema virtuoso di economia circolare che proprio nei comuni montani e pedemontani può funzionare molto bene anche in Italia, così come in Europa, ed essere un vero motore di rilancio di queste aree e di lotta alla povertà energetica.

ITRE Vote on REDIII & EED

+ The ITRE Committee vote on REDIII is being held today and will be closely followed by the Secretariat. The draft proposal is an improvement from the Commission’s document; however, the Committee will not vote on any provisions related to biomass sustainability criteria due to ENVI’s exclusive competence over these sections. The proposal is expected to be put to a Plenary vote in September. For more information, please contact Daniel Reinemann.
+ In today’s committee meeting, the ITRE Committee also voted on the Energy Efficiency Directive recast (EED) and adopted the opinion. The final text will be voted on in Plenary in September. For more information, please contact Irene di Padua.
