Mediterranean Energy Dream and Cultural Planning between Old Layers and New Paradigms

Abstract:

In the recent years that the interconnection of the production, distribution and use of energy cannot be considered unconnected to the materials and information chains. A global solution to the problem of energy supply has to be looked for in a new approach taking into account all these factors in dependence of the local resources and characteristics (geographic, urban, cultural etc) of the territories. In areas such as the Mediterranean, where the ability to tap into the huge renewable and clean energy resources, are confronted with the reality of contexts secularly layered and saturated, in which, as perhaps nowhere else, landscapes and scenery of quality and value environmental and town are mixed and interwoven with situations of degradation, worthlessness and abandonment, the reorganization energy is, in this sense, an incredible opportunity to rethink and relaunch.

In particular, GSE fosters sustainable development by providing support for renewable electricity (RES-E) generation and by taking actions to build awareness of environmentally-efficient energy uses.

The main objective of the Association is to promote cooperation and collaboration with major energy companies operating in the Mediterranean region, making of energy an element for regional integration.
