65% of the energy we use is CO\u2082-free.<\/p>\n
63% comes from renewable sources.<\/p>\n
73% is produced.<\/p>\n
Our path toward the energy transition is clear:<\/strong> we aim for an energy mix that minimizes environmental impact while improving the efficiency of our production processes.<\/p>\n Our energy is deeply rooted in the local area: the Pieve Vergonte plant is powered by two company-owned hydroelectric stations<\/strong>, Megolo and Ceppo Morelli, which together provide 18 MW of installed capacity, transforming the power of water into clean energy.<\/p>\n Solar energy is another cornerstone of our strategy:<\/strong><\/p>\n And we\u2019re not stopping there: our energy needs are also met by two high-efficiency natural gas cogeneration units<\/strong>\u2014one 4.6 MWe gas turbine <\/strong>and one 2 MWe internal combustion engine. Innovation allows us to repurpose waste too: part of the exhaust gases from the gas turbine cogenerator are now used to produce potassium carbonate, capturing carbon dioxide and further increasing the CO\u2082-free share of our energy, while reducing our overall environmental impact.<\/p>\n This is our path toward a more sustainable industrial future.<\/strong> We continue to invest, innovate, and transform\u2014reducing our footprint and making chemistry increasingly responsible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 65% of the energy we use is CO\u2082-free. 63% comes from renewable sources. 73% is produced.
