00:00We are here to celebrate an agreement with the sea.
00:10We at the Association of Offshore Renewable Energies
00:14are following closely the many projects of Renewable from the Sea.
00:21We need to make Italy energetically independent.
00:27We need to reach important European targets
00:31of decarbonisation to reach climate neutrality.
00:36We need many renewables.
00:38Those on the ground are not enough.
00:40We need a sea effort.
00:42That is why many Italian and international operators
00:46are working to build important projects
00:51far from our coasts,
00:53to produce gigawatts for our national transmission network
01:00but also to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia.
01:04These are very expensive projects.
01:09The investments we are already making are incredible.
01:14Many of these initiatives are carried out through scoping,
01:20which are studies on the possible impacts of these projects on the sea.
01:30Thanks to our scientific activities with the best marine biologists,
01:35we know where we are going to connect our chains
01:40and where these floaters with these aerogenerators will be positioned.
01:45This is a study that shows the importance of marine biodiversity protection
01:51but also of marine life.
01:53From a landscaping point of view,
01:55we are far from the coasts.
01:57We are 10-12 miles ahead.
01:59We are imperceptible to the human eye compared to a horizon.
02:05There are many criticisms.
02:09We need to clarify the planning of marine spaces.
02:17We are waiting for the decree to regulate the FER2 floaters,
02:23which are the incentives that are given to these innovative energy systems.
02:29Finally, we need to have ports to become strategic infrastructural hubs for our territory.
02:43These could be Augusta, Taranto, Brindisi, Civitavecchia and many others.
02:48These are ports where we are going to assemble these large floaters
02:53with the aerogenerators to be transferred to the sea.
02:56They will provide a lot of employment.
02:58We also need a lot of training
03:00because we could reach thousands and thousands of jobs,
03:04especially in the middle of the day in Italy.
03:07Thanks to the National Organization for the Protection of the Sea,
03:11a federative pact was born to gather the best experiences
03:16and put at the service of this great innovation,
03:19which are the renewables from the sea.
