AUDAX ENERGIA GAS SUPPORTS HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT IN INDIA<\/h1>\n

Environment, development and energy: the link between these elements is \u2013 as is known from the issues concerning climate \u2013 far from balanced. Let's consider two macro data.<\/p>\n

First, in 2018 the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere<\/strong>, the main gas responsible for the greenhouse effect, exceeded that of 2017: 407.8 parts per million (ppm), against 405.5 parts per million (data World Weather Observatory<\/a>). This increase, higher than the average of the last decade, does not bode well for the future of our planet.<\/p>\n

Second, even today<\/a> 840 million people in the world<\/strong>, have no access to modern, continuous and safe forms of energy. But not only that. 2.9 billion individuals use fuels that are harmful to both health and the environment for cooking \u2013 but this also applies to heating and lighting their rooms.<\/p>\n

The implementation of projects involving the production of energy from renewable sources appears \u2013 today and in the future \u2013 as the solution capable of bringing the three elements together in a point of equilibrium.<\/p>\n

An example? It comes from India<\/strong> and concerns the construction of the hydroelectric power plant<\/strong> in the province of Himachal Pradesh, in the north of the country. The infrastructure, located in the Kinnaur district, aims to ensure a renewable and sustainable energy<\/strong> to local communities in an area marked by poverty and lack of access to energy. The construction of the plant will bring economic and social benefits <\/strong>important in both the short and medium-long term, starting from the creation of jobs in the implementation phase, to arrive at the concrete development of the area involved from the point of view of production and commercial activities, infrastructures and services.<\/p>\n

He also contributes to the Indian project Audax Energy<\/strong> with the choice to provide its customers only \u201cclimate neutral\u201d natural gas<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

In practice, CO emissions2<\/sub> deriving from the supply of natural gas are \u201ccompensated\u201d through the purchase of carbon credits. The latter \u2013 effective and consolidated financial instruments \u2013 go to subsidize sustainable development projects certified at international level. So that energy, sustainability and development<\/strong> finally find their virtuous convergence.<\/p>\n

Not only that. The program that Audax Energia adheres to is in line with the \u201c<\/strong>Sustainable Development Goals<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/strong> (Sustainable Development Goals) that the United Nations<\/strong> launched in 2015: 17 goals for a world with less inequality. Specifically, that of the Indian hydroelectric plant involves:<\/p>\n
