Pope Francis directs the Vatican to build solar plant. At first glance, as a state, Vatican City’s carbon emissions might appear insignificant, as aciafrica noted, at around a 0.0000443%. .
To achieve his aim, solar panels will be installed on a Vatican-owned property outside Rome. The power generated could supply all of Vatican City's energy needs..
Pope Francis has unveiled a plan to transition Vatican City to solar energy as its primary source of electricity in his latest motu proprio “Fratello Sole” or “Brother Sun.” The Holy Father has directed the construction of an agrivoltaic system on Vatican-owned land in Santa Maria di Galeria, located just outside Rome..
In a letter released on June 21 entitled “Brother Sun” Pope Francis announced his intention to transition Vatican City onto 100% renewable energy using solar panels.
