(From Google Translate) The use of this renewable source results in a decrease in pollutants and CO2 emissions not only in our country but throughout Europe, explains the European Environment Agency
Dalla geotermia arrivano dunque chiari benefici contro la crisi climatica e l’inquinamento atmosferico, che da solo ha provocato oltre 400mila morti premature nell’Ue nel solo 2016. Anche in Italia, dove l’inquinamento atmosferico miete almeno 76.200 vittime l’anno (14.600 da NO2, 3.000 da O3, 58.600 da PM2,5) e dove i cambiamenti climatici hanno investito il territorio con 157 eventi climatici estremi nell’ultimo anno, l’impiego della geotermia ha garantito importanti vantaggi.
There are clear benefits from geothermal energy in battling the climate crisis and air pollution, which alone has caused over 400 thousand premature deaths in the EU in 2016 alone. Also in Italy, where air pollution causes at least 76,200 victims per year (14,600 from NO2, 3,000 from O3, 58,600 from PM2.5) and where climate change has affected the country with 157 extreme climatic events in the last year, the use of geothermal energy has guaranteed important advantages.
