For Biogas in Conselve
Months ago an investigation report on Rai 3 He told how the zone of “low” Padovana is highly polluted.
This derives mainly from the spin of sewage of animal open -air animals that has been made for decades. Yet the solutions to these problems exist.
The same report showed that you could burn them instead with wood chips, generating heat and electricity, and thanks to some regional incentives, They were making plant. But unfortunately, because of these incentives, it came to the point that the chicken manure (pollina) it was more profitable than egg production!
It is certainly not a satisfactory solution, but on the other hand the sewage in the fields …….
Suppose now that some scientists explain to you instead of those same sewage, being “biomass”, They can be transformed into heat and current, but also in fertilizer, and all this without produce odors and without creating huge smokestacks. in conclusion, suppose propose an environmentally friendly way to transform waste into a resource.
Bello would you say, but the scientist also informs you that unfortunately serve several million euro to make a plant of its kind.
And here everything seems to stop, because the Municipality has no money, the province has no interest, the region does not care, And the state is too busy making useless wind turbines elsewhere.
Everything seems to lean toward the “Keep your poop in your territory as has happened to date, and die”.
If a group of young entrepreneurs comes forward and says, “We do this facility, We do not ask for contributions to the community, We need the building permit and authorization to collect and manage poop, there we take the money from the banks, and even if we risk our, We believe in financial sustainability”. In the shortage of money that is today “a godsend!” would anyone.
And in fact the region, the province, And all the bodies in charge say yes ……… EXCEPT THE TOWN THAT MAKES THE GRANT
Indeed it jumps out of the last that someone, with little support led by a local newspaper, makes propaganda because the plant does not authorize. How is it possible ?
Well, It is just like that, It is a real case. All this takes place in Conselve, in the province of Padua.
E’ This is the reality of Italy in the Veneto, absurd situations deriving from political blocks that do not let work if you do not appropriately affiliated to something political, or maybe if the right person has not paid off, or even just because you are unpleasant to someone for your political opinions, Or … Who knows why ?
Here politics, as in fascist or communist dictatorship, You decide what you do or do not do, but he decides whether it is right or wrong, And it doesn't matter that what you want to do is completely approved by law, It doesn't matter even if it costs nothing to the community and indeed does it good.
No …… You must have political support otherwise the de facto concession does not come or is denied, It is not even known why, How long …… want to appeal ? Meanwhile, someone will take advantage of your entrepreneurial idea, And maybe he will use the same recycled projects themselves, But he will get the concession that has not been given to you…. And so, it works like this.
(update July 2018: A recent similar case is that of abusive exploitation of the motorway tutot patent by the Autostrade company)
What are the explanations of these mysteries in the concrete case of Conselve?
A possible explanation is that someone wants to prevent these young entrepreneurs from gaining honestly, to do it for them.
A possible explanation is that there are tangents to pay.
A possible explanation is that the administration has not understood the problem well, or did not understand the few who support it.
An explanation is that the elections are upon us and you want to interest some sponsors.
There are other explanations beyond inherent and corruption.
Now, in the real case, I know some of the young entrepreneurs group, And I believe that the information they sent me to the plant is true, that the community cannot derive damage but substantially a benefit. sure, The business risk exists and the operation is also done to earn us, but they are not paid state contributions. These are solutions that should already be authorized only because they are at zero cost for the community.
And how it is possible that everything is blocking after more than a year of scrapping all approved by all the other bodies ?
Incomprehensible, Especially since a few days ago the news 3 Veneto spoke of a breeder of Schio (WE) that recovering the sewage of cows has significantly increased its income. So it is possible to do it! (In reality there was already another system similar to Limena) . And it would not even be better to create these systems as a territorial service reaching the economic staircase for complex plants instead of each for itself as that breeder? So why in the province of Vicenza yes but in that of Padua no ?
If anything should be encouraged many entrepreneurs to make this type of biomass recovery plant!
This page contained a form to send a message to the mayor Conselve (PD) support for the system .

Near the shortness of Villafranca Padovana Gã¬a 2 biogas plants built and a third under construction……production of compost, electric energy, heat, elimination of redundant slurry…..without polluting….In Austria they have been using it for years…..always better than having an incinerator near house no?
