Energy production from biomass is very strategic for the achievement of global sustainability goals and use biofuels decentralized energy in medium-small size plants, which conforms to fossil GHG reduction targets, expected increase short-medium term. This paper proposes a simplified methodology estimating Carbon Footprint associated with heat generation by forest woodchips. The includes all relevant life cycle phases based on specific fuel plant characteristics, so it can effectively...

The European Union is targeting climate neutrality by 2050, with a focus on enhancing energy efficiency, expanding renewable sources, and reducing emissions. Within Italy’s electricity mix, bioenergy namely biogas, solid biomass, bioliquids, play crucial territorial role. A comparative analysis was conducted through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), utilizing national data from the ARCADIA project, to assess environmental sustainability of investigated chains identify most convenient ones. study...

The transition towards energy efficiency measures and green sources is strongly fostered by the European Union. Italy among EU countries that have heavily invested in renewable sources, more than doubling their share gross final consumption. In particular, biogas has a pivotal role generation of electricity can also be upgraded into biomethane, with higher stable content. this study, sustainability supply chain from been thoroughly analyzed broader framework ARCADIA (Life Cycle Approach...

Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) is a problematic waste material remaining after shredding and recovery processes of end-of-life vehicles (ELVs). Its heterogeneous grain size composition make difficult its or disposal. Although ASR accounts for approximately 20% to 25% the weight an ELV, European Union (EU)'s ELV Directive (2000/53/EC) requires that by 2015 minimum 95% must be reused recovered, including 10% energy recovery. The quantity relevant: Approximately 2.4 million tons are...

Abstract The 2008 Global Financial Crisis influenced geo-economic dynamics in the EU, triggering a repositioning of less developed regions. This analysis examines whether their competitiveness changed after 2008, and why some regions improved performance. Using ERCI data, we compare EU lagging at NUTS2 level, finding that Central Eastern European (CEE) reacted to crisis better than Southern Italian ones. We find divergence pathways depends on scale financial resources institutional...
