Edison and the sustainable re-use of reclaimed land and resolution of regulatory and management issues
Edison is Europe's oldest energy company and among the leading energy companies in Italy and Europe. The Edison Group offers solutions and advanced technologies to its residential, industrial and public administration customers to optimise energy consumption and gradually reduce their carbon footprint, accompanying them in the transition towards greater environmental, social and economic sustainability. Edison, through its Edison Next Environment company, therefore works to support companies in understanding their impact on the territory and to manage in a ‘circular’ manner materials no longer used. This takes place in 3 areas of intervention: Environmental Services, Waste Management and Valorization, Biomethane.
In the area of Environmental Services, thanks to NODES, the Company has chosen to launch a Challenge to UniTo's students in order to collaborate in solving related regulatory and management issues. Specifically, they are asked to highlight and find possible solutions for the following (compatibly with current legislation and possible access to PNRR incentives): the sustainable re-use of reclaimed land; the future uses of reclaimed sites.
At the Challenge launch event on 9 May 2024, the Challenge will be explained to participants in detail by company representatives.
