EMISSIONI 2026 in Bologna: technical seminar on impacts, regulatory compliance and operational solutions for industrial emissions

Industrial emissions management is increasingly defined by a complex balance between regulatory requirements, data quality, impact assessment and the selection of solutions that are truly applicable in real operating conditions. 

In many industrial sectors, decision-makers and practitioners are required to translate evolving obligations into operational choices, while ensuring technical robustness, accountability and measurable environmental outcomes.

Against this backdrop, EMISSIONI -  Impacts | Regulations | Solutions is conceived as a technical forum dedicated to environmental professionals. 

The seminar is promoted by Gesteco, together with Labiotest and LOD, with the purpose of creating an operational space for dialogue among companies, institutions and specialists, linking regulatory frameworks, monitoring systems, data interpretation, risk management and effective mitigation strategies.

The format combines keynote technical presentations with moderated discussion, focusing on the challenges that industrial organisations face on a daily basis:

• regulatory evolution and compliance management
• monitoring systems and measurement strategies
• data validation and interpretation for decision-making
• legal exposure and risk governance
• solutions designed for effectiveness in real plants and operational constraints

The seminar is designed to support an evidence-based approach: moving beyond a “limit-driven” perspective and toward an integrated management model grounded in reliable data, impact understanding and operational feasibility.

• Regulatory updates and compliance: technical requirements, responsibilities, operational management and risk implications.

• Impacts and health protection: emissions trends, air quality analysis and a technical interpretation of environmental and health-related outcomes.

• Technical solutions and integrated approaches: monitoring, data interpretation and multidisciplinary operational management across industrial contexts.

• Case studies and peer-to-peer exchange: applied experiences (cases currently being defined) to understand what works in practice, and why.

EMISSIONI 2026 will feature high-profile technical-scientific contributions, designed to provide a multidisciplinary overview of industrial emissions management.

Among the speakers:

• Vanes Poluzzi (ARPAE Emilia-Romagna) - air quality and regional observations supporting an evidence-based reading of emissions and monitoring data.

• Gaetano Settimo (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) - impact assessment and public health protection perspectives.
• Avv. Domenico Giuri (BM&A Studio Legale Associato) - compliance and legal risk in emissions management, with an operational lens on responsibilities and exposure.
• Alessandro Dal Pozzo (University of Bologna - DICAM) - current challenges in emissions control, bridging technical guidance and applied industrial cases.

Overall, the seminar aims to connect regulatory frameworks, monitoring, health impacts and operational solutions within a single technical exchange.

The seminar is designed for professionals and organisations operating in industrial environments, including:

• Environmental / HSE–EHS Managers
• Sustainability Managers and Compliance Officers
• Plant engineers, utilities managers and operations teams
• Environmental consultants and technical firms
• Laboratories, monitoring professionals and control bodies
• Legal and risk management functions dealing with environmental matters
