Valley of Hell fuels Italian industry at Larderello
In the Tuscan valley of Larderello near Pisa a vast network of chimneys and pipes vents steam from volcanic power used to boost Italy’s industry. Restored after World War II with ERP loans, the site now supplies boric acid, ammonia, and electricity to Italian rails and factories, with production rising from 5 220 tons in 1948 to 6 840 tons, and electricity from 800 to 1 800 million kilowatt hours.
