OBSERVATORY
The Observatory objective is to organize and start a technical-scientific-legislative committee operating in energetic efficiency field, specifically focus on waste heat recovery to produce electric energy and reduce CO2 emissions in energy intensive industries. The documents redacted by the Observatory are available in this page.
