  "account": "Secondary solid fuel (Css), produced from non-recyclable waste, is set to make a growing contribution to Italy's energy needs. A conference organised by Cisambiente Confindustria at the Ecomondo fair in Rimini heard that after regulatory simplification in the recent Ambiente-bis decree, Css is poised to increase in consumption and production. In 2023, 120,000 tonnes of Css were used, rising to 160,000 in 2024 and 220,000 in 2025, with potential for 500,000 tonnes to be used in cement plants. Corrado Clini, former Environment Minister, estimates a future production in Italy of 6.7 million tonnes, with potential savings of 4.7 billion euros on fossil fuel imports.",
