Once again World Rookie Fest in Livigno will measure its own carbon footprints and then take action by reducing emissions and offsetting unavoidable emissions by purchasing credits from Renewable Energy from Wood Biomass based in Tirano, a few kilometers from Livigno.
This energetic project uses surplus biomass residues to generate electricity for 500 houses, avoiding the use of 3.5 million liters of gasoline and 10.500 tons of CO2 per year. Also this project pushes traditional agricultural activities and mountain forest maintenance in the same area where the event happens.
In this way the event offsets locally the CO2 emissions generated and reaches the status of a Climate Neutral Event, certified by Climate Partner.
To be mentioned that this is made possible thanks to the support of Livigno Skipassion, the green sponsor of the event.
