wider plans for the future? Unsurprisingly, new and advanced technology remains on the agenda, with Claudio noting that the business is evaluating the development of peaker plants, which stand out thanks to their remarkable agility and flexibility, as well as looking at combining generation with storage systems (batteries). “This is to again support the system in the renewable transition by responding to the intermittencies typical of these sources that will increasingly be present in the energy market,” he said. “Sorgenia has always been very sensitive to all sustainability issues. It knows that to advance towards a better and fully renewable world, it has to begin with a gradual path that finds value with the existing sources that have a low environmental impact. It is currently a producer based on gas and renewables, a combination that contributes to safety on the one hand and helps the system limit climatechanging emissions on the other—a leading enterprise active in the transition towards full decarbonization through concrete transition methods.”
Delivering power Another development that is now underway that illustrates Sorgenia’s dedication to greener sources of energy is the construction of a new Biomethane power plant in Marcallo. The investment, worth about 20 million euros, will be part of a company controlled by Sorgenia (75 per cent) and owned by Agatos (25 per cent), and will create renewable energy via the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (FORSU). The only by-products of this innovative process will be a highquality solid fuel, which can be used in industry to replace coal or oil, and a quality fertilizer, completely free of pollutants. The technology adopted will also make it possible to extract high energy yields from a material of low value: it will thus be possible to produce, from the same organic fraction, a greater amount of biomethane. Another distinctive element is the all-Italian nature of the operation: not only investors, but also technology, suppliers and the lender are examples of the best that the country has to offer. Commenting on the beginning of plant construction, Gianfilippo Mancini, CEO of Sorgenia said: “Sorgenia today starts a new phase of development and investment in various renewable sources, and it does so with an innovative and Italian technology project, which guarantees complete circularity and
which is a candidate to be a reference point in the bioenergy sector.” Thanks to the range of technologies providing its energy, and the loyal and reliable staff in its teams, Sorgenia is able to deliver power to end customers (both residential and business) through its customized offers. It’s online, digital delivery model means that it can work every day to bring customers sustainable energy and services, and thanks to a strategy based on a flexible model of energy production and management, Sorgenia is ideally placed to accelerate the energy transition of Italy, bringing renewables to the fore and making clean energy the power of the future.
