They are our future, the future of mobility, with a fundamental role for the necessary ecological transition, or "they are madness that has no environmental, economic, social, industrial explanations", as claimed by the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini? One thing is certain.Since 2035 it will no longer be possible to purchase new petrol and diesel cars within EU countries.Car manufacturers will have to reduce the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of new cars sold by 100%, with the aim of encouraging the transition to the sale of electric cars. Yet the transition to electric cars is encountering a certain resistance, not only in public opinion but also among those who should support and accompany this transition.Always Minister Salvini he said that electric cars "are rubbish from Europe that is giving a huge gift to China". His position is not isolated. In short, even on electric cars the debate has been polarized, especially by those who, in t...

Last October 3rd the workers of Magneti Marelli's Crevalcore plant went on strike against the intention, declared by the managers, to close the plant.After the mobilization of both the unions and local and national politicians, the company decided to suspend the closure procedure. Although Magneti Marelli mainly deals with batteries, the Crevalcore plant still works on internal combustion engine components.For this reason, the managers claim, there has been a decline in turnover in recent years which has made the closure of the plant essential. The crisis of Crevalcore's Magneti Marelli, in fact, cannot be seen as an isolated case, but as a failure of our country's strategy in keeping up with electric mobility.This while the rest of the world has decided to take the challenge seriously, even if more for geopolitical rivalries and electoral opportunities. What we talk about in this article:China's leap and America's responseThe USA, Biden and the electric car as a symbol of re...

The weekly round-up on the climate crisis and data on carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. That limiting the increase in global temperatures to within 1.5°C, as established in the 2015 Paris Agreement, is an impossible mission without the transition from fossil fuels to clean energy is certainly no longer news.It is a passage now taken for granted by studies and reports by panels of experts and scholars and it is information also acquired by governments.It is newsworthy, however, if it is an oil company that says it. Last week Shell released the “Energy security scenarios”, a new series of scenarios in which the oil and gas company imagines how the global energy system could change over the course of the century.Between the lines of the report – observe Carbon Brief who analyzed the study in depth – it is clear that staying below 1.5°C means immediately putting an end to oil and gas growth. This is certainly new considering that, in previou...

“We are convinced that biofuels can also fall into the category of neutral fuels in terms of overall CO2 balance and contribute to the progressive decarbonisation of the sector.We will therefore work, as part of the procedures for approving the legislative acts indicated by the Commission, to also have biofuels considered among neutral fuels in terms of CO2". The comment by the Minister of the Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto Fratin tries to mask the disappointment of the Meloni government which has to take another European bitter pill on biofuels. In fact, on 28 March, the Energy Council of the European Union, in which the government representatives of the 27 member states were present, approved the regulation setting stricter CO2 emissions performance standards for new cars and vans.In application of Fif for 55 measurement package, with which the European Union intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, the...
