TA introduced the European Super Cup venue: There are 2409 solar panels on the top, and the energy is self-sufficient

August 13: Paris Saint-Germain will play against Tottenham in the European Super Cup, and the game will be held at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udinese, and The Athletic also introduced the stadium. The article writes that through 2409 solar panels installed on the top of the stadium, the energy used by Bluenergy Stadium is completely self-sufficient, thus perfectly combining environmental protection and football.

These panels can generate more than 1,000 megawatt hours of energy per year, and are renewable energy sources, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 6,500 tons per year, equivalent to the annual exhaust emissions of 1,516 cars, or the annual electricity consumption of 1,355 households. Pozzo, head of the Bluenergy Stadium, said: "Football has a huge influence, with more than 2 billion fans around the world, so why not use such a huge platform to promote environmental protection and sustainable development?"

"The climate crisis caused by humans has begun to threaten global sports. In this context, each of us needs to make changes."

Pozzo represented Udinese at the 29th United Nations Climate Change Conference held in Azerbaijan in November last year. This is the first time that football people have participated. Udinese is also one of the 11 founding members of the "Football Club Climate League", which also includes Tottenham, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid.

"Now, Udinese's jersey is made entirely from recycled plastic bottles, and for every away jersey sold this season, we will plant three trees."

"Environmental protection is a social mission, and football players cannot leave it out. Our goal is not only to use solar energy inside the stadium, but our parking lots will also produce and use renewable energy in the future."

"In addition, our employees will choose the type and portion of meals through the mobile app the day before dining in the canteen, and the chef prepares food according to the employee's choice, thereby reducing waste in the canteen."

"Players also take private jets to participate in the game. It is a problem. Since Udines is located in northeastern Italy and has inconvenient transportation, it is indeed challenging to change the way of travel in the short term. "

"We will try our best to travel by bus and are purchasing new energy buses, but sometimes it takes 14 hours to go to the competition site by bus, which is obviously unrealistic, so we are also working hard to promote the authorities to improve train travel services. "

Bluenergy Stadium's solar panels were installed in April this year. Due to administrative approval issues, they will not be connected to the local power grid and will be officially put into use, but it is expected to be officially connected to the power grid on August 25.

If the energy produced by these solar panels is still left after the course is used, the remaining part will be provided to local residents for use.
