Vatican and Italy Collaborate on Agrivoltaic Plant to Achieve Carbon Neutrality

19:16, 31 July

Edited by: Ирина iryna_blgka blgka

The Vatican and Italy have formalized an agreement to develop an agrivoltaic plant in the Santa Maria di Galeria area, aiming to supply Vatican City State with renewable energy. This initiative reflects a shared commitment to ecological responsibility and sustainable development.

The agrivoltaic system will be installed on Holy See property in Santa Maria di Galeria, integrating solar energy production with agricultural activities. The project is designed to respect the natural landscape, minimize environmental impact, and maintain the area's hydrogeological balance.

This collaboration underscores the Vatican's dedication to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting climate neutrality, aligning with Pope Francis' call for an "integral ecology" and care for our common home, as articulated in Laudato si'.

The agreement, composed of five articles, will enter into force upon the exchange of diplomatic notifications confirming the completion of internal procedures by both parties. The initiative is being hailed as a tangible expression of the strong bilateral relations between the Holy See and Italy.
