Abstract

Anthropogenic activities and GHG emissions are scientifically correlated to climate changes. The need to reduce the effects in global warming can be done throughout international and national specific economic policies. Advanced waste treatment technologies, which produce biogas, can become key factors for limiting the warming effects. Since the stipulation of the European Union Climate and Energy Package, adopted by EU on December 2008, and of the Europe 2020 10-years strategy about GHG emissions, biogas production in Italy has become more significant to achieve the green, sustainable and decarbonised economic binding target set for 2020. In view of future environmental goals for 2030 and 2050, in this contribution an overview of the Italian situation is presented.
