Our sustainable energy: hydropower, solar and cogeneration for a low-emission future

65% of the energy we use is CO₂-free.

63% comes from renewable sources.

73% is produced.

Our path toward the energy transition is clear: we aim for an energy mix that minimizes environmental impact while improving the efficiency of our production processes.

Our energy is deeply rooted in the local area: the Pieve Vergonte plant is powered by two company-owned hydroelectric stations, Megolo and Ceppo Morelli, which together provide 18 MW of installed capacity, transforming the power of water into clean energy.

Solar energy is another cornerstone of our strategy:

• Since 2021, 43,800 MWh/year have come from agrivoltaic plants in the Lazio region through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA)
• In 2022, we invested €11 million to establish Renewability, a consortium company that supplies us with 12,000 MWh/year from photovoltaic systems in Lazio and Abruzzo
• Two photovoltaic systems in Saline di Volterra produce 350 MWh/year

And we’re not stopping there: our energy needs are also met by two high-efficiency natural gas cogeneration units—one 4.6 MWe gas turbine 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 CO₂-free share of our energy, while reducing our overall environmental impact.

This is our path toward a more sustainable industrial future. We continue to invest, innovate, and transform—reducing our footprint and making chemistry increasingly responsible.
