AirLabò Project (Interreg Italia-Francia Marittimo 2021-2027)

Techne Consulting is a partner of the consortium of institutions and companies of the AirLabò project within the Interreg Italy-France Maritime Cross-border Programme 2021-2027, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the European Territorial Cooperation (ETC) objective of the EU Cohesion Policy 2021 - 2027

The AirLabò project methodology consists of a process of interaction between the main stakeholders identified in three groups: port infrastructure managers, scientific monitoring and control institutions and citizens; this process will be developed from the initial phases of the project and characterized by:

  • Analysis of the results of the initiatives of the previous programming cycle and of relevant case studies from other contexts;
  • Emissions and carbon footprint assessment in selected case studies and scenarios creation for the evaluation of opportunities and limitations of the implementation of a Nitrogen Emissions Control Area (NECA) in the Tyrrhenian Sea and of the main nitrogen oxide reduction measures under discussion at international level: transition from marine fuel oils to alternative fuels (LNG, Biodiesel and biofuel, Methanol and dimethyl ether, Hydrogen, Ammonia), onshore and barge power systems, combustion modification, propulsion mode adaptation, secondary techniques;
  • Detailed survey of stakeholders in the cooperation area;
  • Development of a consolidated network of Living Labs and organization of events in which to analyze and share possible intervention protocols (technological implementation interventions of monitoring infrastructures, port operations management procedures, state of the art of the application of procedures);
  • Development and application of a communication protocol on scientific data and their correct reading and interpretation.
