We are excited to announce that we have begun the installation of 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺, in the Hull area: 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗫 𝟮𝟳 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘀, each with a power of 2,679 KWe, equipped with 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘅 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘅𝗵𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀. This setup will allow the purified CO₂ to be reused for greenhouse fertilization, enhancing plant growth.

The 𝗘𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗫 𝗚𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗻𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 is designed to provide a cogeneration system that ensures the simultaneous production of electrical energy, thermal energy, and CO₂.

✅ The electricity produced can be used for artificial lighting in the greenhouse or fed into the local distribution grid.
✅ The generated heat supports the production of hot water, both high and low temperature, useful for heating and air conditioning buildings.
✅ Additionally, the CO₂ contained in the exhaust gases, once purified and cooled, acts as a natural fertilizer, promoting healthier and more vigorous plant growth.

The commissioning of the plant is scheduled for 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿.

We are proud to contribute to a more sustainable and efficient future for agriculture and the environment!
