Abstract
This study proposes an innovative integrated transportation/photovoltaic energy system that will enable the Pompeii Municipality to develop a set of urban ecotourism policies and instruments for the preparation and adoption of an environmental sustainable mobility strategy to be applied in their future municipality urban plan. The innovative character of the study resides in two principal aspects: the technologies applied, namely, the use of thin fi lm photovoltaic (hereafter PV) panels (copper-indium-gallium-(di)selenide cells) on a fl exible support, and the way these technologies are applied. A combined energy/mobility approach based on ‘Zero km and zero emission energy production for zero emission electric transportation strategy’ to be implemented in the Public Urban Plan (Piano Urbanistico Comunale) of the town of Pompeii is presented. According to the technology to be adopted (thin PV fi lm on fl exible supports integrated in the parking shelters roofs), to the foreseen PV plant of 700 sqm parking lots, and to an innovative multifunctional design approach (bio-mimicking sun track roof), an improved yearly power production of 100.0 MWh is foreseen with a 20- 25% increase of power production with respect to standard fi xed PV panels of the same type.
Highlights
Campania is a region of Italy with a strong tourist vocation: it is the territory that attracts the majority of tourism in Southern Italy especially for the presence of the touristic highly attractive poles: Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, Amalfi and Pompeii
The environmental benefits to be achieved with the future application in the Pompeii urban planning of the policies developed in the framework of this proposed approach could attain high enhancements of pollutants and noise abatements
The environmental benefits that are strictly related to the project implementation are limited to the partial closure of the centrum to busses that will reduce 1/6 of the gaseous emissions: namely, 20 tonnes of CO2, 0.2 tonnes of CO, 80 kg of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), and 80 kg of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Summary
The balance between economic growth, social wellbeing and environmental protection is a growing concern of industrial research development This will be at the base of the future development of our technosphere, the virtual space where techno diversity interacts with the biosphere (Barrett and Odum, 2000; Iqbal, 2016; Sepúlveda, 2015; Pisello et al, 2016). Environmental challenges, such as climate change and scarcity of resources, constrain and open opportunities for new technological developments in the same time, including in the composite materials field (Apicella et al, 2010; Aversa et al, 2017a-c; Colvin, 2004; de Silva et al, 2009; Kaebernick et al, 2002; Mirsayar et al, 2017; Petrescu et al, 2017a-e). Sustainability is a serious issue in the long run, for the future of the world, but it is critical in Europe due to their rapid and uncontrolled industrial growth in an environment that should preserve its cultural history.
