Camerano: "A2A will be the first utility to focus on renewable energy".

24 July 2017

The company is aiming to grow through external lines and the first operations will soon arrive. Investments are ready to make Milan one of the "smartest" metropolises in Europe. There is also something new, or rather old, about A2a's future. The first of Italy's "local" utilities, the group jointly controlled by the municipalities of Milan and Brescia, has decided to adapt to the transition underway in the energy world, shifting the weight of electricity production from fossil fuels to green energy.   (Article in italian language)

STEM, from solar radiation to energy

05 May 2017

The thermodynamic solar plant in Messina uses sand to store heat from solar radiation and produce renewable energy. The first STEM fluid-bed thermodynamic solar plant has also been the focus of American researchers. Inaugurated last September at the integrated energy hub in San Filippo del Mela, in the district of Messina, the system uses more than 700 heliostats to capture the sun's rays and channel them into a cylindrical steel container where a bed of sand, capable of reaching temperatures of over 600°, generates thermal energy in the form of steam.   (Article in italian language)
