Abstract:
Climate changes are correlated to anthropogenic activities and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. International and national specific policies are necessary to reduce environmental pollution. Advanced waste treatment technologies, which produce biogas, can become important factors for limiting global warming. Since the stipulation of the European Union Climate and Energy Package, adopted by EU on December 2008, and of the Europe 2020 10-years strategy about GHG emissions, biogas production in Italy has become more significant to achieve the green, sustainable and decarbonised economic binding targets set for 2020. This contribution presents an overview of the Italian situation in view of future environmental goals for 2030 and 2050.
