Other investments were as follows:

• 21 million euros to finance the public lighting of the municipalities managed by Hera Luce and so reduce CO2 emissions;
• 42 million euros for the modernization of the the Milazzo refinery in order to bring down dust emissions and reduce the consumption of gas fuels in the production process;
