Sardinia's shift towards decarbonization signifies the path for gas use and innovative industrial projects

In the world of science and renewable energy, two significant discoveries have recently been made.

Firstly, a new species of dinosaur, named Abydosaurus mcintoshi, has been discovered. This fascinating creature lived around 155 million years ago during the late Jurassic period. The fossil remains of this dinosaur, found in Wyoming, USA, are almost complete, providing valuable insights into its anatomy and lifestyle.

Abydosaurus mcintoshi is a quadruped, meaning it walked on all fours. It is characterized by its long, narrow snout and sharp teeth, suggesting it may have been a formidable herbivore, feeding on plants. The dinosaur's name is derived from the ancient Egyptian city of Abydos and honours the paleontologist Robert McIntosh.

The discovery of this dinosaur adds to our understanding of dinosaur diversity during the late Jurassic period. It's a fascinating reminder of the rich history that lies beneath our feet.

Meanwhile, in the realm of renewable energy, a significant development is underway in Sardinia. The Presidential Decree has been signed, initiating the decarbonization process for the region. The decree identifies priority works and infrastructure for phasing out coal in Sardinia, a move that is seen as a crucial step in bridging the competitive gap due to high energy costs.

The provision is described as revolutionizing the industrial production framework of Sardinia. Gas will be supplied through regasification terminals, Floating Storage and Regasification Units (FSRUs), and local networks. A virtual gas connection is introduced to ensure supply security, while the electrical interconnection system between Sardinia, the mainland, and Sicily is strengthened.

Emanuele Cani, regional Industry assessor, has highlighted the importance of ensuring that the works can be carried out in the shortest possible time. The decree aims to equalize the price of gas in Sardinia with the rest of Italy, a move that is expected to greatly benefit the region's economy.

These two developments, one a glimpse into the past and the other a step towards a greener future, underscore the exciting pace of discovery and progress in the world today.
