On the centenary of the Italian industry magazine L’Energia Elettrica (Electric Energy), CESI celebrates this milestone with the publication of an article by Gianluca Marini, Executive Vice President of the Consulting Division at CESI, titled “Green New Deal, how to achieve it concretely?” (available in Italian). The article delves into the European Union’s pioneering role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, a journey that began in the early 2000s.
In his article, Marini outlines the EU’s significant strides in reducing emissions, surpassing its 2020 targets. While the energy sector has made progress, other sectors — particularly road transport — face challenges. CESI is working on solutions to address these issues, such as improving electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Additionally, CESI is involved in major international energy projects like the Great Sea Interconnector and Green Vein, which aim to enhance renewable generation and strengthen electricity interconnections between Europe, North Africa, and the Mediterranean.
Despite these advancements, Marini emphasizes that challenges remain, including slow authorization processes, rising investment costs, and technical hurdles in the renewables and electricity distribution sectors. CESI continues to contribute by offering innovative solutions and supporting international cooperation to help both the EU and Italy meet their ambitious climate goals.
Readers can delve deeper into these insights and the strategies outlined by Marini in the full article, available in L’Energia Elettrica.
