Project “Fedegari Campus – Energy Center Phase 1”

Fedegari Autoclavi S.p.A. has launched an ambitious energy efficiency project aimed at decarbonizing and achieving greater energy autonomy for its production facility. The initiative, titled “Fedegari Campus – Energy Center Phase 1”, represents a strategic investment in industrial innovation and environmental sustainability, aligned with ESG principles and B Corp standards.

The project includes the integration of advanced technologies for the efficient production and management of energy, such as:

• Installation of an 800 kWp photovoltaic system, with an annual output of approx. 1,000 MWh—over 80% of which will be self-consumed, with the remainder fed into the grid.
• Replacement of outdated boilers with a new high-efficiency steam boiler (96% efficiency) to support production processes.
• Installation of three heat pumps, including one geothermal unit, for heating purposes, replacing old gas-based systems.
• Implementation of a BEMS (Building Energy Management System) for intelligent and centralized control of the plant’s overall energy consumption.

These interventions will lead to significant sustainability outcomes:

• Reduction of CO₂ emissions by 406 tons/year, equivalent to 32% of the site’s total emissions.
• Overall energy demand reduction of 808 MWh/year.
• Greater energy independence and resilience to energy price fluctuations.

This project marks Phase 1 of a broader long-term plan, which includes Phase 2: the construction of a multi-functional water reservoir for agriculture and floating solar energy production—merging industrial development with local environmental enhancement.

With this initiative, Fedegari reaffirms its role as a regenerative industrial model, able to combine innovation, competitiveness, and environmental responsibility.
