Modena
Italy - 180 000 inhabitants



Presentation of the organisation:

Modena counts180.000 inhabitants, capital of one of the provinces of Emilia-Romagna region, in Northern Italy. Modena enjoys a prime geographic position, in the centre of the Po river valley, at the crossroad of two key national highways (A1 running North-South the whole Country, A22 linking Italy with Central and Northern Europe). It is 40 km from Bologna, with its strategic railway hub and international airport. The province of Modena is one of the richest and most developed in Italy and Europe, and has one of the lowest unemployment rate as well as one of the highest pro capital levels of income. For that reasons, it also has a high percentage of third country nationals (5,3% in the provincial area). As all local authorities, the City of Modena is in charge of a wide range of services for citizens.
The City of Modena is implementing specific strategies and policies in the environ-mental and energy fields since more than twenty years.
Particularly, we focused on energy strategies, like the Energy City Plan 2002, and control and reduction of atmosphere climate gas, since 1996 Balance of the greenhouse ef-fect emission on Modena area, to work on energy consumption reduction and fuel environ-mental impact.
Implementing energy policy in Modena means: actions to improve energy saving in different ways and awareness-raising in all City Departments on energy issues and related problems.
Energy saving and renewable energies policies brought to Modena some important awards: European award “Energy Star 2002” and Eurosolar Italy 2003.
Some important projects aimed at energy saving and recovering as well as at envi-ronmental protection and energy conservation in heating gave some relevant results: first of all, to settle the electrical consumptions, concerning the progressive increasing of the de-manding and then a 35% reduction in 6 years of the heating consumptions. These could be done by using low absorption pipes in public lighting, by using certificated computer at low energy consumption for offices, by the optimisation of heating/cooling equipment.
Particularly relevant was the decision to adopt the EMAS II to the Dogali public swimming pool, where during the five years of applications there was an important reduction of electri-cal and water consumptions, a reduction of heating and cogeneration consumptions and an important reduction of CO2 global emission.
Other interesting projects of the Environmental Department/Energy Office were:
2000: voluntary agreement with some local schools for energy saving, which means sharing fifty/fifty the income deriving from the reductions in energy consumptions during school year;
2003: setting up some solar panels to use renewable energy sources to produce hot water;
2003: use of renewable energy sources on the Dogali public swimming pool to heat both the swimming water and the sanitary water;
2004: project on the use of renewable energy sources especially concerning schools and in-dustrial area.
The City of Modena has a long-term experience in EU-funded projects, both as leader and as partner. It also has a specific Department in charge of European affairs and interna-tional relations, providing assistance and support to all City Departments.
