1. Sustainable Approaches for the Valorization of Marginal Lands through RES Donato Eng. Prof. Bedin Senior Expert Unioncamere Veneto

2. The environmental sustainability of the installation of photovoltaic systems on marginal land can be traced back to the considerations that are normally used for photovoltaic systems on the ground, applying LCA techniques, that have highly demonstrated their environmental sustainability.

15. reduction of the local air pollution load in cases of industrial use of renewable energy in places with high smog;

17. Implementation of projects to reduce the emission of the landfill gas through its combustion and/or production of electricity and heat

19. Stop the eventual misuse of the area (the discharge of garbage, debris accumulation, clandestine activities without authorization) and allow a controlled development

20. Check the water quality and trends in groundwater flows

37. The new “Light Lake” Park (SABBIA VALLEY, BS, ITALY ) The PV Plant is a precursor for a broader and more qualified recovery plan of the area, which envisages the creation of a Renewable Energy Park in the mountain community of Sand Valley. Currently under construction, it offers a path within a structure that will allow distributed learning spaces concerning multiple forms of utilization of renewable energy sources. http://www.cmvs.it/files/ImpianttoFotovoltaico.pdf

41. compensating the handicaps of these areas with additional concessions of photovoltaic installable capacity ;

42. reserving for them more attractive incentives tariff;

43. reserving compensatory measures to successful bidders for additional work or expenses required for the reclamation of the areas;

45. convergence of intents between the local political and economic actors (agreements with short-term obligations);

Conservizi, which promotes the development and qualification of local public services in economic importance and represents and protects the interests of companies and associated institutions in respect of the Emilia-Romagna and of all other regional bodies, public and private.Agreement objective: To promote and encourage the production of energy from renewable sources and reduce consumption of soil by installing photovoltaic systems on surfaces made ​​available in the exhausted landfills. To this end, also through the enactment of specific guidelines, the parties undertake to promote the creation and management of these types of plants.

52. issue guidelines in accordance with existing legislation in order to identify possible simplifications with respect to:

53. building regulations and qualifications to the construction;

54. organization and management of conference services for the single authorization;

55. making solar systems compatibile with the management of landfill post-mortem periods;

59. Also the Veneto Region is in the forefront in the promotion of photovoltaic systems on marginal land, in particular in landfill and brownfield sites, which are often contaminated by previous mining activities and / or industry with an eye to INNOVATIONIN COLLABORATION WITH ENEA, A PROJECT OF LANDFILL COVERAGE WITH EXPOSED EGSC GEOMEBRANE SOLAR CAPPING- EGSC was realized, the FIRST IN ITALY!

72. The experience from PVs in BLOOM project showed that the environmental sustainability of ground-mounted photovoltaic systems in marginal areas is generally evident, whereas when measured according to economic and financial terms, it depends not only on the incentive rate, but also very much on sensitivity and attention from the government towards the use of such areas for photovoltaics Such sensitivity, already developed in Germany and Austria, has developed further in Italy and in Greece and Slovakia to follow(thanks also to the actions developed by the project PVs in BLOOM), much less in Poland and Hungary, probably because these nations have much larger surfaces when compared to the number of inhabitants In Hungary and Poland low incentive tariffs also works against this. Wereallyhopethatlessonlearnt by partnership of PVs in BLOOM in the rehabilitation of marginalterritories by means of the leverage of RESinvestments can contaminate alsoother EU countries for a better use of soilresource.
