In this interview, Cristiano Fini, President of CIA - Agricoltori Italiani (Italian farmers confederation), underlines the importance for Italian farmers to seize the opportunity offered by biomethane. This opportunity concerns not only the energy transition of the agricultural sector, but also the country’s energy supply and the use of digestate as a fertiliser. Associations such as the CIA play a key role, as they must operate in a manner consistent with European directives, joining forces and defending companies engaged in the energy transition.
