THE ROLE OF TERRARIA In particular, TerrAria acts as Project Manager and liaison with the Department of Industry and has carried out the following activities: Data collection and analysis for the preparation of the Regional Energy Balance, the Regional Emissions Balance, with particular focus on biomass, and monitoring of the Plan\u2019s emission reduction targets. Collection and analysis of relevant environmental information and data required for the development and population of Process and Context Indicators for monitoring the Plan. Preparation of the Annual Monitoring Reports of the Plan. Support in drafting the Guidelines for the development of biomass plants in Sardinia. Support in the collection and systematization of data from Municipal SEAPs and monitoring of municipal energy consumption and actions developed within SEAPs. Support in the development of specific analyses on methane infrastructure development in Sardinia. In-depth focus: collection and analysis of socio-economic data related to the regional context and their correlation with energy data, and development of socio-economic scenarios concerning the effects of the Plan\u2019s implementation; data collection and specific analyses at regional and territorial level on energy, with particular reference to energy districts and smart grids; data collection and specific techno-economic analyses on energy use in transport, with particular focus on electricity, natural gas, and hydrogen. Data collection and analysis related to the use of biomass for energy purposes. Support in coordinating sectoral regional policies with the strategic orientations of the Plan and in stakeholder engagement and coordination activities at national and EU level concerning the Plan processes. &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2047,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"aree-servizi":[72,67],"class_list":["post-6235","casi-studio","type-casi-studio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","aree-servizi-air-climate-and-energy-planning-and-related-environmental-assessment","aree-servizi-governance-and-energy-environmental-models_test"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casi-studio\/6235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casi-studio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/casi-studio"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2047"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"aree-servizi","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terraria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/aree-servizi?post=6235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
