Speranza Cooperative, Italy
Accelerating the clean energy transition
Speranza Cooperative, an Italian organisation based in Candiolo, in the province of Turin, operates in the zoo-technical industry and offers its goods directly to the public. It has a prominent role in the region as it contributes to the environment and the circular economy enabling the reuse of residues and waste. Along with generating meat and milk, the project has long been involved in the field of sustainable energy for years.
A successful initiative
The initiative installed two biogas plants called Ecomax®10 BIO cogeneration systems. This innovative solution converts animal and agriculture waste into power and heat. The amount of electrical power and thermal energy generated by these pants is eight million kW/ annually 70% of it goes to the local centre for cancer research. Also, the project recently integrated an agricultural biomethane plant that transforms agricultural waste into liquid sustainable fuel, aiming at producing 2,000 tons annually.
