  • San Giovanni Theristis. Una Basilica Bizantina in Epoca Normanna
    HUMANITIES - Anno VII, Numero 13, Giugno 2018 DOI: 10.6092/2240-7715/2018.1.47-80 ELIA FIORENZA1 - NICOLA GIUDICE2 San Giovanni Theristis. Una basilica bizantina in epoca normanna Premessa La comprensione della storia di un luogo, generalmente, è aiutata dalla ricerca dei documenti che in qualche misura dimostrino la sincerità delle nostre affermazioni ed il rigore del nostro metodo. Nella nomenclatura dell’archeologia e dell’architettura religiosa Katholikón sta ad indicare l’oratorio di un monastero. Esso era situato o al centro del cenobio o al centro della laura (o “lavra”)3, ovvero una sorta di villaggio eremitico. Focus di questo lavoro è il Katholikón di San Giovanni Theristis (o Terista), monastero conosciuto anche come “San Giovanni Vecchio” ovvero “San Giovanni tra i due fiumi4”. Si tratta di una basilica normanna fondata non su rocce, ma su solidi 1 Elia Fiorenza, Dottorando c/o Dottorato di ricerca in “Scienze e Ingegneria dell’Ambiente, delle Costruzioni e dell’Energia” Università della Calabria.

  • Green Hydrogen the Next Transformational Driver of the Utilities Industry
    EQUITY RESEARCH | September 22, 2020 | 9:41PM BST The following is a redacted version of the original report. See inside for details. Green Hydrogen The next transformational driver of the Utilities industry In our Carbonomics report we analysed the major role of clean hydrogen in the transition towards Net Zero. Here we focus on Green hydrogen (“e-Hydrogen”), which is produced when renewable energy powers the electrolysis of water. Green hydrogen looks poised to become a once-in-a-generation opportunity: we estimate it could give rise to a €10 trn addressable market globally by 2050 for the Utilities industry alone. e-Hydrogen could become pivotal to the Utilities (and Energy) industry, with the potential by 2050 to: (i) turn into the largest electricity customer, and double power demand in Europe; (ii) double our already top-of-the-street 2050 renewables capex EU Green Deal Bull Case estimates (tripling annual wind/solar additions); (iii) imply a profound reconfiguration of the gas grid; (iv) solve the issue of seasonal power storage; and (v) provide a second life to conventional thermal power producers thanks to the conversion of gas plants into hydrogen turbines.

  • I Bizantini E La Vallata Dello Stilaro 245
    I Bizantini e la vallata dello Stilaro 245 I Bizantini e la vallata dello Stilaro: istituzioni ecclesiastiche e insediamenti monastici di Fulvio Calabrese, Giorgio Metastasio e Danilo Franco This paper studies the church constructions made between the 10th and the 11th centuries in the Stilaro valley, a small piece of land between the modern provinces Reggio Calabria and Catanzaro. This small area is of great archeological and historic interest in since as many as 30 cult site – convents, cloisters, and churches, as well as numerous monastic institutions lie in the range of a few square kilometers: the Cattolica di Stilo, a katholikon of a monastery in grottos, and the monastery of S. Giovanni Theristis di Bivongi, where in 1994 – after more than four hundred years of silence – the ancient Greek liturgies once again began resounding. «Se giungerai alla purezza di cuore che viene dalla fede e dimenticherai la conoscenza di questo mondo, all’improv- viso la Vera Conoscenza si troverà davanti a te, senza che tu l’abbia cercata.» (S. Isacco il Siro) 1. L’eparchia di Stilo nelle fonti documentarie La vallata dello Stilaro, posta sul versante ionico al limite settentrionale della provincia di Reggio Calabria, è testimone significativo, – da qui deriva il motivo del presente studio –, della situazione religiosa che caratterizzò la regione nell’ultimo periodo bizantino. Infatti, tra il secolo X e l’XI, troviamo in questo territorio un’organizzazione ecclesiastica piuttosto articolata che ha il suo punto focale in Stilo, sede di un’eparchia suffraganea del trono di Reggio. La più antica testimonianza al riguardo si trova nel brebion, un rotolo membranaceo databile al 1050, nel quale sono riportate le proprietà della metropolia di Reggio con i rispettivi canoni, che, insieme ad un periorismos Si precisa che i §§ 1 e 3 sono stati composti dal dott.

  • Press Release
    Press Release Eurogas joins global initiative to combat methane emissions London, 16 January 2020. Today Eurogas joins the Methane Guiding Principles initiative – a voluntary partnership of industry and civil society organisations aimed at reducing methane emissions across the natural gas supply chain, from production to end consumer. This development stresses the gas industry’s commitment to reducing methane emissions in relation to natural gas. The European Commission is expected to bring forward an EU methane strategy in the first quarter of 2020. Eurogas Secretary General, James Watson, explained the move to join the initiative: “Members of Eurogas have always been committed to limiting methane emissions in their networks and will continue to work on and implement best practices. Joining the Methane Guiding Principles partnership is another step in this direction. It includes cooperation on advancing strong performance across value chains, improving transparency and data accuracy, and positively engaging in dialogue on methane regulation with policymakers.” “Gas will play a crucial role in supporting countries across Europe to address their carbon emissions. Using gas for power generation, industry, transport and heating will help meet future energy demand while achieving decarbonisation. Therefore, working together with serious partners from across the spectrum of energy sector interests to reduce methane emissions is the right and responsible action to take.” The Methane Guiding principles focus on five priority areas for action along the natural gas supply chain: 1. Continually reduce methane emissions 2. Advance strong performance across the gas supply chain 3. Improve accuracy of methane emissions data 4. Advocate sound policy and regulations on methane emissions 5.
