  • CONTURSI TERME, ITALY - 11 FEBRUARY 2020: Dina Lanzi (49),  Head of Technical Business Unit Hydrogen at Snam, poses for a portrait in Contursi Terme, Italy, on February 11th 2020.<br />
<br />
In April 2019, Snam was the first company in Europe to introduce a blend of 5% hydrogen and natural gas in its transmission network. The trial involved supplying H2NG (hydrogen-natural gas blend) for a month to two industrial companies in the area, a pasta factory and a mineral water bottling company. The trial at Contursi was repeated in December 2019, doubling the hydrogen blend to 10%.<br />
Applying a permanent 10% hydrogen blend to the total gas transported annually by Snam would mean that 7 billion cubic meters could be injected into the network each year, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of 3 million households. This would allow for a potential reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 5 million tons.<br />
<br />
<br />
Italy is optimally positioned to become a leading hub for green hydrogen from North Africa to<br />
Europe. Italy could use its solar resources and its existing connection to North Africa (which has even better<br />
solar resources) to set up a leading hydrogen hub.<br />
<br />
Snam is one of the world’s leading energy infrastructure companies and first in Europe by gas transmission network size (32,625 km in Italy, over 41,000 with international subsidiaries) and storage capacity (16.9 billion cubic meters in Italy, more than 20 bcm with international subsidiaries).<br />
<br />
In September 2018, together with other European companies, Snam signed a Hydrogen Initiative declaration to support hydrogen’s potential as a sustainable energy source. The signatory companies have undertaken to gradually integrate hydrogen into gas transmission networks and to encourage their use as a solution for energy storage, as well as to support the development of hydrogen produced by electrolysis, which allows more efficient use of energy intermittent renewables.<br />

<br />
In September 2018, together with other European companies, Snam signed a Hydrogen Initiative declaration to support hydrogen’s potential as a sustainable energy source. The signatory companies have undertaken to gradually integrate hydrogen into gas transmission networks and to encourage their use as a solution for energy storage, as well as to support the development of hydrogen produced by electrolysis, which allows more efficient use of energy intermittent renewables.<br />
Snam has recently doubled the volume of the hydrogen blend, which was experimentally introduced into its natural gas transmission network in Contursi Terme, Salerno (Italy), to 10%, this just a few months after the 5% hydrogen blend was introduced into the network for the first time in Europe. This directly supplied two companies, a pasta factory and a mineral water bottling company that both operate locally.

<br />
In April 2019, Snam was the first company in Europe to introduce a blend of 5% hydrogen and natural gas in its transmission network. The trial involved supplying H2NG (hydrogen-natural gas blend) for a month to two industrial companies in the area, a pasta factory and a mineral water bottling company. The trial at Contursi was repeated in December 2019, doubling the hydrogen blend to 10%.<br />
Applying a permanent 10% hydrogen blend to the total gas transported annually by Snam would mean that 7 billion cubic meters could be injected into the network each year, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of 3 million households. This would allow for a potential reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 5 million tons.<br />

The trial at Contursi was repeated in December 2019, doubling the hydrogen blend to 10%.<br />
Applying a permanent 10% hydrogen blend to the total gas transported annually by Snam would mean that 7 billion cubic meters could be injected into the network each year, which is equivalent to the annual consumption of 3 million households. This would allow for a potential reduction of carbon dioxide emissions by 5 million tons.<br />

They distribute between 100 and 150 grocery bags each day, by providing food to approximately 600 families who have lost an income due to the coronavirus in Naples.<br />
<br />
Southern Italians are facing a war on two fronts. Italy’s coronavirus epidemic, among the deadliest in the world with nearly 20,000 deaths, exploded in the country’s wealthy north, where it stretched one of Europe’s most sophisticated healthcare systems to the limits and shut down the country’s economic engine. But it is the country’s poorer, less developed south that has loomed over the entire crisis and which figured prominently in the government’s decision to lock down all of Italy last month.<br />
<br />
The south is facing economic carnage not seen since the post-war era. The region’s poor, used to scraping by with temporary contracts or off-the-books jobs, are now increasingly dependent on handouts. Scattered, but troubling, reports of unrest at supermarkets puncture the Italian narrative of patriotic sacrifice. And officials are concerned that criminal organizations that have long infiltrated the black market, the health systems and many other facets of southern life are seeking to exploit the crisis by substituting reluctant banks as providers of loans and, in some cases, food.<br />
<br />
The existence of the widespread use off-the-books workers in the South’s vibrant “street economy,” meant that the lockdowns hit hard families that had no access to the government’s targeted relief packages.

<br />
The entrepreneurial rise of Matteo Messina Denaro coincides with the beginning of his escape. In addition to the traditional sectors in which Cosa Nostra operates, such as the control of drug trafficking (thanks to Messina Denaro's contacts with the South American drug cartels), the boss began to expand his business into the large-scale distribution and alternative energy sectors. Money was thus laundered into supermarkets and shopping malls. Partner and front man of Matteo Messina Denaro was Giuseppe Grigoli, the so-called "king of supermarkets", owner of a giant retailer that managed the Despar supermarkets and the Belicittà shopping centre. Grigoli started his business with a small shop in 1974, and with the protection of the boss he managed to put together an empire of 750 million euros. Another great business is alternative energy, in particular wind power. Messina Denaro's closest men have managed to infiltrate the construction of the largest wind farms in western Sicily. Giuseppe Grigoli was arrested in 2007.<br />

<br />
Described as “the last Mohican of the old mafia”, Matteo Messina Denaro (57) is one of the world’s most wanted fugitives, who has been in hiding since 1993. He was once considered a candidate to be the Sicilian mafia’s boss of bosses after the deaths of Bernardo Provenzano in 2016 and Salvatore Riina in 2017.

Another great business is alternative energy, in particular wind power. Messina Denaro's closest men have managed to infiltrate the construction of the largest wind farms in western Sicily. Giuseppe Grigoli was arrested in 2007.<br />

He was once considered a candidate to be the Sicilian mafia’s boss of bosses after the deaths of Bernardo Provenzano in 2016 and Salvatore Riina in 2017.

<br />
The idea of the founders Nives Monda and Potito Izzo (two really unusual names in southern Italy) was to create a “taste gate" of Campania products. La Taverna a Santa Chiara, founded in 2013, is a modern tavern whose strengths are the choice of regional and seasonal products and mostly small producers. Small restaurant, small producers.<br />
The two partners tried to put producers and consumers in direct contact, skipping the distribution, and managing to reduce the costs of the products considerably. Nives and Potito managed to create a simple kitchen, at moderate costs but with high quality raw materials.<br />
"A different restaurant idea," says Nives, "the producers deliver their products at low prices and the tavern manages to make traditional dishes with niche products".<br />
Nives Monda has been a labor consultant for 20 years. Potito Izzo is the chef who has always been loyal to the  family cuisine. When he embraced the idea of Nives he found in the tavern the natural place to express the tradition of Neapolitan cuisine. Nives defines him as a "comfort food chef". Their partnership is a true friendship that has lasted for over 10 years.
