We have chosen the community of S. Mauro Torinese, a town of 19000 inhabitants in the
subburbs of Turin
This community produce 208.22 tons of CO2 daily
CO2 emission in S. Mauro area
Private vehicles
municipality
transports
Other
Our aim is to decrease the emission of CO2
The School buses provided by the municipality represent our target
We can obtain the decrase of CO2 emission by using electrical buses and our pilot scheme is a
plant that uses biomass to produce energy
The wastewater from the town is at the moment piped to sewage system and it’s
channeled to a purification plant.
Our treatment plant will be connected directly
to the sawage system in oreder to obtain the
raw material to be transformed in green energy
In the picture on the right you can see the
area choosen to build the plant
We visited a well working establishment in Cavallermaggiore (CN) where the energy
resulting from dung fermentation is produced .
Biosolids treatment produce gas that is piped into a generator unit which transform it
into electrical energy
A single silo contein 30.000 tons of biosolids. The production cycle last 45 days
The generator unit produces 1000kw/h
To improve our plant we will use even the compost heap
Raw material used by our plant
Biosolids
- 213.750 Kg
Compost
heap
- 974.700 Kg
H2O
- 4.275.000 Kg
TOT= 5.463.450 Kg (5.463 t)
Using 5463 tons of sewage we’ll produce about 197 kw/h
School buses will be feeded during the night and the energy produced during the day will
be exploited to power other municipality services (for exemple mail delivery).
