«We appreciate Edison’s commitment in confirming the project and its desire to invest in our territory despite the various vicissitudes, we also share in these hours the declarations of the Mayor of Brindisi Marchionna, the opposition to appearing in court against Edison alongside of the ASI consortium, considering that the presence of the coastal deposit investment is in its electoral program”. He states it Massimo Pagliara, provincial secretary of Cisal Brindisi, who adds: «The LNG depot, if built, will bring immediate and impressive employment benefits for hundreds and hundreds of workers, in the 30 months from the construction site and construction of the work, Censis, through its report, has assessed economic impact at local level of 170 million euros. The port of Brindisi will become strategic in logistics to bring new cruise ships, whose fleets are increasingly oriented towards using LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), effectively increasing the number of passengers and tourists in our province.
The Edison Coastal Depot is part of the processes of decarbonisation of transport and the processes of ecological transition that many people talk about, only to then promptly hinder its implementation. Liquefied Natural Gas, for those who are perhaps not very informed, compared to current fuels deriving from traditional fossils, emits 20% less CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) and reduces NOX (Nitrogen Oxide) emissions by 60% -90%. eliminates particulate and sulfur oxide (SOX) emissions.
For these reasons – concludes Pagliara – Cisal supports this investment with conviction, also in light of a particular authorization process put in place by the relevant bodies, which evaluated and authorized the project, far from any political discussion and exploitation. The many workers and unemployed in our area do not want and cannot wait any longer!
