The call for tenders for the waste-to-energy plant could be published shortly. The acceleration compared to the expected date of the end of July, according to the Committee Come on, she's gone. The Committee collects hundreds of members and is the group most convinced of the construction of the Roman infrastructure. In any case, to be updated, he asked the Councilor for the Environment Sabrina Alfonsi the progress, the type of project being worked on and the future management. From the responses he concluded that the Municipality wants to act quickly. Meanwhile, the political climate on the issue is calming after the declarations of the Secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein. The leader could not help but recognize the goodness of the project and extinguish any objection from her side, including from her party. She hopefully permanently. The opposition of the Cinquestelle and some other minorities remains. Objections intended to spread smoke but not substance. About the works on the table there is one expression of interest of AceaAmbiente and other partners. But in addition to the technical proposal that will arrive, will the architectural project respect "aesthetic canons such as to allow an important redevelopment of the area or a recreational use", asks the Daje Committee? “ At this stage - replies the Councilor - as envisaged by the process of the published expression of interest, the Commission is evaluating the only proposal received, that of the Business Association made up of Acea Ambiente, Hitachi Zosen Inova, Vianini Lavori and Suez. If it is judged to meet the technical and economic-financial requirements requested by the Administration, it will form the basis of the project which will be put out to public tender. Only in the second stage quality of the architectural project may be relevant for the purposes of the overall assessment of the project proposals that will participate in the tender."
The incinerator principle of circular economy
Administration di Roberto Gualtieri has an interest in the quality level being high. The plant will be the first brick of a circular economy system that is almost unknown in Rome. It's not the time yet but the plant, although built in a peripheral area, shouldn't be ugly from an aesthetic point of view. And then why? On the aesthetic-functional level there are illustrious precedents of architects who have been able to design systems of this type in harmony with the environment that housed them. Progress has also been made in this area. From waste you will have energy and to the citizens' request to know if offers from energy companies have already arrived, Councilor Alfonsi replies that it is premature to talk about district heating. The operation will have a development with particular benefit of the industrial district of Santa Palombawhere the waste-to-energy plant will be built. It is known that Rome suffers from its road system, but how will the waste reach the infrastructure? Will there be another way, go of vehicles and men to flood the urban arteries, the ring road, the motorway toll booths? It is another question that the Committee has asked the Municipality. But in this respect there is a plan already announced by Mayor Gualtieri to use the railway for transportation of eco bales up to Santa Palomba. Gualitieri said checks are underway to get the wagons directly to the plant. “The answer cannot yet be in detail, replies Alfonsi, because there are hypotheses in evaluation course and policy indications which have been provided to the technicians and concern the lowest possible load of vehicles compared to the Via Ardeatina, with the identification of a mix of alternative routes that use the GRA and the Via Laurentina". I am suspended solutions, under study, which will have to have an outcome after the project. It is clear that the Romans, tired of seeing the city in desperate conditions, are also in a hurry to understand how the capital will be transformed thanks to a mega-plant that will end up pleasing even those who are against it today.
