Italy and Ports The Italian port system - 23 Port Authorities Italian Port Authorities, established by Law No 84, January 28, 1994 on the reorganization of the port sector in the promotion and development of commercial activities by sea, are active in all major ports. The Law 84 of 1994 established the Port Authority in the ports of Ancona, Bari, Brindisi, Cagliari, Catania, Civitavecchia, Genoa, La Spezia, Livorno, Marina di Carrara, Messina, Napoli, Palermo, Ravenna, Savona, Taranto, Trieste and Venice . To these were added, after investigation, Olbia, Piombino, and Salerno in 1995. In order for a port to be considered within the Port Authority is necessary for the last three years has registered a volume traffic of goods not less than three million tonnes per year less than 90% of the bulk Cash or 200,000 TEUs in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 8, of Law 84, 1994. The port of Gioia Tauro in 1998 and The Port Authority of Augusta is one of the youngest among the Italian having been established only in 2001. The system of ports, integrator of qualified professionals and other entrepreneurial resources and highly specialized, is a wealth of know-how for the country. eEnergia Italy and Ports Energy and Portswww.eambiente.it Developments

Has in fact started the installation of modules on the roofs of buildings for logistics Interporto of Padua. The work provides well 67,500 PhotoVoltaic modules that extend over an area of 250 thousand square meters (over the roofs of all buildings, are also involved in the shelters used for parking cars). The total installed power capacity is 15 MW, producing 17 million kilowatt hours of clean energy per year, equal to the energy consumption of 5,000 households. The planned investment is approximately EUR 50 million, while the work will involve about 450 people. On the environmental front, the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere will be contained to less than 9 tons per year, equivalent to the consumption of about 3,200 tons of oil.

CO2 ENERGY EMISSIONS Waste Managment PORTISO 14001 EMS Plant: NOISE WASTE MANAGEM ENT Intervention: Design and construction of plants for the anaerobic digestion of organic fraction of municipal waste (MSW) for marketing of dry digestion system. The dry digestion process of organic waste treatment through which, by the biodegradation of organic material, is possible to produce the so-called biogas, which is useful for energy as in can be used in internal combustion engines. Biodigestion is that of a completely natural process, which in Dry variant occurs within reactors (cells digestion) made of reinforced concrete, within which is loaded biomass. The fermentation process is accelerated by temperatures conducive to bacterial growth, ie 34 -37 C. The heat is transmitted to the material from walls and floor heating. The biogas produced is then conveyed to the co-generator to produce electricity and heat. The material exiting the reactor can be easily and economically composted through a conventional aerobic process. The quality of compost produced can be used as quality agricultural fertilizer or as fill. Through anaerobic digestion plants, the organic waste that has long now it is disposed of separately, is used for the production of electricity and thermal energy for heating and compost for agriculture, making a significant contribution to reducing fossil fuel use. d t D eEnergia W Italy and Ports Energy and Ports www.eambiente.it Developments

CO2 Acoustic Zoning Plan EMISSIONS ENERGY PORTISO 14001 EMS NOISE Plant: WASTE MANAGEM ENT Intervention: The acoustic zoning plan (APZ) is one of the reference tools to ensure environmental protection and to direct actions designed to restore the conditions of noise below the normal limits. This need arises from the fact that in urban and metropolitan of our country, the increase in noise related to productive activities and mass motorization, the formation of urban areas with high population density and characteristics of building products have resulted in levels noise such as to take the phenomenon of an emergency nature. To achieve these objectives, the preparation of APZ has been divided into three phases. In the first phase was developed knowledge framework on national and regional industry, instrumentation and on-going current planning and tools for the management of mobility in order to ensure compatibility (physical and functional) from noise zones proposed by APZ, homogeneous areas where the planning instruments and interventions articulate the municipal government of mobility. In the second phase, the procedure is done with the reading of the state of the municipality, through the investigation of the significant elements for the preparation of the Plan, and the parameterization of the features and elements of the urban system which are the factors that generate noise in directly or indirectly. In other words, they were considered activities such as industrial activities, are the direct sources of noise and activities that, when they reach significant eEnergia Italy and Ports levels, attract traffic flow such as to raise the sound levels in the area. In the third phase, the municipality has been divided into noise zones. Energy and Ports www.eambiente.it Developments

DEVICE AND METHOD TO OPTIMIZE COMBUSTION OF HYDROCARBONS A SMART SOLUTION TO REDUCE HARMFUL EMISSIONS: THE WHITE ENERGY DEVICE eEnergia Italy and Ports Energy and Portswww.eambiente.it Developments

BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE WHITE ENERGY DEVICE Most harmful emissions are due to the incomplete combustion of the fuel. Microscopically, we can think of fuel as made up of many drops. Reducing the size of the drops increases the possibility of complete combustion. Electrorheology/Magnetorheology is the study of the flow of fluids under the influence of electric/magnetic field. It has been demonstrated in « Electrorheology leads to efficient combustion» (R. Tao,K. Huang, H. Tang, and D. Bell, Temple University 2008) as well as in other publications, that an electric field reduces the viscosity of the fuel. This viscosity reduction leads to much smaller fuel droplets and cleaner and more efficient combustion. eEnergia Italy and Ports Energy and Portswww.eambiente.it Developments

WHITE ENERGY DEVICE The White Energy Device (Ekol) consists of two solenoidal coils, one for the fuel pipe (A) and one for the air pipe (B). Coil A is connected to an electric circuit that it is constructed to generate an electromagnetic field in the fuel pipe. Coil B is connected to coil A and it also produces an electromagnetic field. eEnergia Italy and Ports Energy and Portswww.eambiente.it Developments

By means of the electromagnetic field in the fuel pipe, the White Energy device reduces: • CO emission The Italian Research Center (CNR) has tested the device on • CO2 emission cars with standardized tests and has found very positive results. • HC emission We propose using the White Energy Device in ports. We think • K emission that it will have even better results in marine motors because: • Fuel consumption They are older than car motors; The fuel is less refined; Other companies using similar devices have better results in marine motors than in cars. Therefore the device will have a bigger impact. EXPECTED RESULTS eEnergia Italy and Ports Energy and Portswww.eambiente.it Developments
