Its energy is used in the distillery's production processes.\n\n| Project figure | Value |\n|---|---:|\n| Electrical capacity | 1,498 kW |\n| Thermal capacity | 1,550 kW |\n| Annual electricity production | About 9.7 million kWh |\n| Annual thermal production | About 10.1 million kWh |\n| Annual reduction | About 1,250 tonnes of oil equivalent |\n| Estimated CO2-equivalent saving | About 2,500 tonnes\/year |\n\nThe emissions comparison on the page is against obtaining energy from the electricity grid.\n\n## White Energy Group role\n\nWhite Energy Group supported Distillerie Bonollo through several stages of the project, including:\n\n- analysis of the plant's energy consumption;\n- selection of the optimal technology among alternatives such as engines, gas or steam turbines and ORC systems;\n- support for defining and optimizing thermal vectors;\n- electricity-grid connection procedures and customs-related activities;\n- CAR prequalification as a preliminary step toward applying for and obtaining CAR TEEs.\n\n## Sustainability context\n\nThe page notes that Distillerie Bonollo Umberto already operates photovoltaic, biomass and biogas plants, with biomass and biogas linked to its own processing waste. Franco Asuni of Whitenergy connects the new project with sustainability, environmental protection and circular-economy objectives.\n\nFilippo Bonollo states that reducing plant energy use and the environmental impact of production has long been a company objective, and highlights Whitenergy's role in identifying the technical efficiency-recovery solution and carrying out the economic analysis.","footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press-releases"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5646"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5650,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5646\/revisions\/5650"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5648"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/weeg.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
