    Abstract [IT]: La degradazione dei LEP a indici tecnico–amministrativi ne mette in ombra la funzione garantistica, che si desume dalla loro collocazione nell’art. 117, c. 2, lett. m) Cost., e si rivela in tensione con l’art. 119 Cost., il quale prevede che il finanziamento del complesso delle funzioni regionali avvenga attraverso risorse senza vincoli di destinazione. Come effetto della loro “spoliticizzazione” e degradazione a indici economici, i LEP rischiano di trasformarsi in un’alternativa non costituzionalmente corretta dell’attuazione dell’art. 119, Cost., rendendo non soddisfacenti le soluzioni in tema di attuazione dell’autonomia differenziata proposte dall’attuale maggioranza di governo. Abstract [EN]: The downgrading of the LEPs to technical–administrative indicators overshadows their guarantee function, which is inferred from their placement in Article 117, para. 2 (m) of the Italian Constitution, and turns up in tension with Article 119 Const. which provides for the financing of the complex of regional functions through non-destination resources. As an effect of their “depoliticization” and downgrading to economic indicators, LEPs risks to become an unconstitutional alternative of the implementation of Art. 119 Const. The solutions proposed on the subject of differentiated autonomy by the current majority government therefore turn out to be unsatisfactory

    This paper focuses on the thermodynamic performance and techno-economic assessment of a novel electrical energy storage technology using carbon dioxide as a working fluid. This technology, named CO2 battery and recently patented by Energy Dome SpA., addresses an energy market which has a great need for energy storage solutions able to handle the increasing share of nondispatchable renewable energy sources like photovoltaic and wind energy. After a brief introduction, the present study presents the concept of CO2 batteries and their operation. Then the detailed numerical model developed for the accurate calculation of system round trip efficiency is presented with the adopted assumptions and the optimization routine description. Results on the reference case and following sensitivity analysis confirm a round trip efficiency of around 77% (+/- 2%) which makes CO2 batteries a very promising technology with respect to other energy storage systems based on thermodynamic cycles like compressed air and liquid air energy storage thanks to the high performance and the easiness of installation. Finally, calculation of system footprint, capital investment cost and levelized cost of storage are discussed
