- **Summary:** White Car covers CAR qualification, TEE origination, technical and administrative management, market sale of certificates and continuous monitoring for high-efficiency cogeneration and trigeneration projects.

## What White Car does

White Car supports companies that want to enhance investments in cogeneration or trigeneration plants through Energy Efficiency Certificates. White Energy manages the process from checking compliance with CAR requirements through certificate issuance and subsequent management.

The page describes each TEE as a measured and recognized energy saving that can generate a stable and measurable economic benefit.

## Phase 1: TEE origination

After installation or qualification of a CAR system, White Energy reports to the GSE the energy savings achieved compared with separate production of electricity and heat. Once the project is approved, TEEs are issued.

White Energy manages the technical and administrative process and pays the customer an economic fee for each certificate obtained.

## Phase 2: TEE management

White Energy manages and sells the certificates on the GME, either through the exchange or bilateral agreements. The service includes continuous market monitoring and management of the related administrative activities.

## Service scope

The page lists:

- assistance with CAR qualification and TEE issuance;
- technical drafting and management of GSE documentation;
- economic enhancement of certificates;
- specialized support for cogeneration and certificate sales;
- continuous performance monitoring.

## Sectors highlighted

White Car is presented for several energy-intensive contexts:

- **Industrial materials:** CAR plants for combined heat and power generation and access to TEEs.
- **Chemical:** CHP integrated into energy-intensive processes, including use of waste heat.
- **Textile:** cogeneration for dryers, ovens and continuous ventilation systems.
- **Manufacturing:** tailored CAR systems for production lines with high electrical and thermal loads.
- **Food:** trigeneration using recovered heat for refrigeration and hot-water production.
- **Agricultural:** CAR systems for heated greenhouses, drying and processing facilities.
- **Healthcare:** continuous energy for HVAC, sterilization and hot-water production.
- **ICT and digital technologies:** trigeneration for data-center UPS and cooling systems.

## Case study: Cereal Docks

The page describes an agribusiness processing plant with significant continuous energy demand, especially for drying and raw-material processing.

Two high-efficiency internal-combustion engines rated **3.3 MW** and **1.4 MW** were installed and qualified as CAR.

Reported project data:

- estimated savings: about **2,000 TEP/year**;
- reporting period: **10 years**;
- TEEs reported for 2023: **1,741 + 390**;
- TEEs reported for 2024: **1,269 + 405**.

Activities included a technical-economic feasibility study, customized CAR system installation, comprehensive TEE management and continuous performance monitoring.

## Case study: Plastipak

The second example concerns a plant producing plastic containers for food and beverages, with high electrical and thermal demand from molding and cooling.

White Car supported the design and installation of a high-efficiency CAR system capable of producing electrical, thermal and cooling energy.

Reported project data:

- estimated savings: about **2,769 TOE/year**;
- reporting period: **10 years**;
- total TEEs obtained from 2019 through 2024: **19,874**.

Activities included technical design, installation and testing, comprehensive TEE management and performance monitoring through a dedicated system.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a CAR facility?

The page defines it as a high-efficiency cogeneration plant producing electricity and heat, and in some cases cooling, at the same time with higher efficiency than conventional separate production.

### How are TEEs associated with CAR systems?

TEEs can be awarded to CAR plants that demonstrate energy savings compared with separate electricity and heat production. The page states that each certificate corresponds to one ton of oil equivalent saved.

### What are the economic benefits?

Companies can obtain revenue from selling TEEs and can also reduce energy costs through self-generation.

### For how long can TEEs be obtained?

The page states that CAR plants may receive TEEs for up to **10 years**, depending on the type and size of the intervention.
