Today 3 May 2024, at 5.30 pm, the Hotel Enea, located on via Del Mare n.83 in Pomezia, will host the presentation of the book “The incinerator of Rome, a wrong choice”. As reported by the Caffè.tv website, the mayor of Pomezia, Veronica Felici, will be present at the meeting. The city councilor, Giacomo Castro, the geology teacher Prof Sergio Madonna, the geologist Elena Carpentieri, the engineer Giuseppe Girardi. Together with them also the lawyer Stefano Rossi, legal curator of the appeals presented by the associations, together with the representatives of the associations promoting the event, Associazione Latium Vetus, the CdQ Roma 2, the CdQ Santa Palomba, the Associazione Salute Ambiente Albano Cancelliera, the UST Association of Villaggio Ardeatino, the No Landfills No Incinerators Committee and the political group Valore Civico.
Local institutions and citizens’ associations, through this volume, want to reiterate their opposition to the Municipality of Rome’s project for the construction of a waste-to-energy plant on the land of Santa Palomba for which Ama would have paid 7.7 million euros for approximately 10 hectares. According to the promoters, the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Rome, the Court of Auditors of Lazio and the National Ecomafie Commission have opened three respective lines of investigation into the incinerator which, as AGEEI has already written, would cost the Romans if it were to be built and put into operation function, at least 60 euros per ton of CO2 emitted, as it is not in line with the European strategy in view of the ecological transition and zero continental impact by 2050.
In the In fact, the so-called “ETS subsidies” will expire in 2028, meaning that plants that emit climate-altering gases such as incinerators and waste-to-energy plants will have to pay emission rights from which they are currently excluded. At costs that currently stand at 60 euros per tonne.
So, all things considered, for a Roman waste-to-energy plant that ‘burns’ 270 tons per day, the economic cost that will fall on the shoulders of citizens will be approximately (60 euros x 270 T.) 16,200 euros per day to be paid to the European Union.
