Municipal area of Ravenna
Superficie 654,88 kmq Population
149.084 inhabitants Geographical
localization The municipal area of Ravenna is
located in the Emilia-Romagna, region of Northern
Italy, and spreads over a large area (it is the
second largest municipal area after Rome).

Natural Areas
Ravenna is made up of some of the most beautiful
natural areas of the Po Delta Park characterized
from the presence of an extraordinary variety of
landscapes and natural habitats which derive from
the interaction between the natural evolutionary
processes of the territory and the anthropic
activities. Extension of the protected areas
about 19.000 hectares.
There are numerous animals and plants species,
many of which are protected by international and
national regulations, but the biggest wealth
comes from the avifauna. There are 234 species
birds the large variety of species is due to the
elevated bio-diversity of the area. Many
different types of habitats can be found which
leads to many possibilities for nesting and
feeding.

The port and the productive activities
The city is inland, but is connected to the
Adriatic Sea by a canal harbour. The port, with
more than 24 million tons handled every year, is
one of the most important in Italy and matches
trading and industrial vocation. The port houses
industries including chemicals, energy,
metallurgy, agricultural foodstuffs and offshore.

Ravenna, Mosaic Capital

• Ravenna is one of the most singular and rich
  cities from an historical and artistic point of
  view.
• Capital of the barbarian kingdoms and the
  Byzantine empire, protagonist of European history
  between the fifth and sixth centuries, the city
  was enhanced by the construction of some of
  Italys most extraordinary monuments.

The city houses an amazing collection of
basilicas, baptisteries and mausoleums with

Energy Plan

• Seen the petroleum cost always growing and the so
  distant Kyoto aims,among the principal activities
  of the environmental departement, there is the
  developing of the Energy Plan in order to reduce
  the energy consumption,
• The Energy Plan is based on
• Study of the main features of the present local
  energetic system
• Definition of the main goals and strategic
  guidelines in order to achieve a local
  sustainable energy system
• Individuation of actions and politics in order to
• increase the efficiency of the energy system
• promote the renewable energy sources
• decrease the impact of the energy consumptions

LOCAL ENERGETIC SYSTEM
9
Main trends under way

• Energy consumption increasing in all sectors
• Productive sector ? 75.6
• Tertiary sector ? 21
• Residential sector ? 8.4
• Transport sector ? 2.6

Its necessary to invert these trends
10
Public building sector

• Main actions promoted
• Energy audits of the schools
• Boilers substitution
• Structural operation, such as windows
  substitution, roof rebuilding,
• Recourse to district heat network in the new
  projects and where possible
• Photovoltaic pannels installation in school
  buildings

• Others future actions
• To complete the energy audits in all the
  buildings
• Educational programs direct to building users in
  order to promote an efficient usage of the
  building
• Larger recourse to Renewable Energy Sources
  technologies

11
Residential sector
Development of the natural gas network ?TODAY IN
THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR 93 OF THE PRIVATE
CONSUMERS USE GAS SYSTEMS FOR HEATING AND
DOMESTIC USE
CLEAN HEAT CAMPAIGN - maintenance and
efficiency control programme of boilers
12
Mobility sector
Private cars 95.053 Vehicles per inhabitant
0.64 (Highest index in the Emilia-Romagna
region) Clean vehicles 13.000 (CNG and LPG)
13
MAIN ACTIONS PROMOTED IN THE MOBILITY SECTOR

• CONTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN TO PRIVATE CITIZENS FOR THE
  TRANSFORMATION TO GPL OR METHANE OF THEIR CARS
  OR SUBSTITUTION OF A NON-CATALYTIC CONVERTER CAR
  WITH A LOW IMPACT VEHICLE
• CONTRIBUTION CAMPAIGN FOR THE PURCHASE OF LOW
  IMPACT COMMERCIAL VEHICLES
• PURCHASE OF LOW IMPACT VEHICLES FOR THE LOCAL
  GOVERNMENT
• INCREASING OF THE CYCLE TRACKS AND OF PUBLIC
  TRANSPORT OFFER

What can the Municipality of Ravenna do ?

• We will have to do, in the next future, an
  important, complex but necessary work to invert
  the trend we have seen before. With this aim we
  fully share the MUSEC project strategy, based on
• Organic energy policies (actions of the local
  authorities, adequate town planning and
  regulation, increas of renewable energy sources,
  ecc.)
• Innovative Financing mechanisms
• Communication programs
• I am sure that the integration between Ravenna
  energy plan and MUSEC project will bring concrete
  and positive results.
