Attention to the Environment
The Group believes that the protection of the environment is fundamentally important and that its interests are not in any way undermined by this. The Group is committed to complying with the regulations in force, using the best technology available and giving, while promoting its activities, due consideration to natural resources so as to safeguard the environment and protect it for future generations.
The year 2010 marked the beginning of a journey that will lead the Group to realize Camozzi further this commitment to the environment with the creation of several photovoltaic generation.
Thanks to the installation of thousands of solar panels on the roofs of its production plants, by the end of 2011 the Camozzi Group will be able to generate more than 4.4MWp of clean energy per year.Some further details:
The equipment which has already been installed on the roof at the Polpenazze plant has the following characteristics:
- power rating of 1237.5KWp
- minimum of 1,393,425 KWh to be generated per annum
- 118,400 solar panels, which were made in the USA, are controlled by 70 Siemens PVM Series inverters.
- a net area of 13,000m2
- 119.8 TEP (tons of oil equivalent) saved
- 898.8 barrels of oil saved
- 144,916 cubic meters of natural gas saved
- Reduced carbon dioxide emissions by 905,726kg. The scale of the saving is illustrated by the fact that 16,468 10 year old poplar trees, covering an area of 55 hectors, would be required to absorb this amount of carbon dioxide through natural processes.
Additional environmentally friendly projects are also planned at Innse Berardi where nearly 680.4KWp will be generated using solar monocrystalline panels. A further 0.5MWp will also be generated at Marzoli and Newton. Two other planned projects will supply a total of 1.8MWp of energy to Innse Milano, Marzoli Foundry and Campress. ,
These projects, which utilise the latest available technologies, prove it is possible to produce energy efficiently without damaging our environment.
