Event details

Written by Lead Author George Debono, it is a comprehensive and wide-ranging report which is divided into four parts. Part I deals with the exploitation of renewable and alternative energy sources and energy conservation. Part II is devoted to the reduction of urban air pollution caused by road transport. Part III is on the promotion of bicycle use and Part IV shows the effects of air pollution on health. The report addresses the key question: 'What must we do to reduce pollution from excessive burning of fossil fuel and to enhance Malta's energy security?' The report highlights the urgent need to reduce Malta's dependence on fossil fuel for electricity generation since this, together with traffic, is a major source of pollution as well as of carbon emissions. It also examines the need for energy generation from renewable or alternative sources of energy in conjunction with energy conservation matters.
