The service supports the customer from verification that the plant meets CAR requirements through the issue and management of certificates. The page describes each TEE as representing a measured and recognized energy saving. White Car is organized into two main phases: **TEE Origination** and **TEE Management**. ## Phase 1 — TEE origination After installation or qualification of a CAR plant, Whitenergy communicates to GSE the energy savings achieved compared with separate production of electricity and heat. Once the savings are approved, TEE are issued. Whitenergy manages the technical and administrative process and recognizes an economic consideration to the customer for each certificate obtained. ## Phase 2 — TEE management Whitenergy manages and sells the certificates on the GME market, both through the exchange and through bilateral agreements. The service includes continuous market monitoring intended to obtain the best possible value while simplifying the administrative process for the customer. ### What White Car includes - Complete support for CAR qualification and TEE issuance. - Technical documentation and management of GSE procedures. - Direct economic valorization of certificates. - Specialized support for cogeneration and certificate sales. ## Target companies and sectors White Car is aimed at companies that want to reduce energy costs through high-efficiency cogeneration and access incentives associated with white certificates. The page presents applications for several sectors: - **Industrial materials:** implementation or valorization of CAR plants for energy-intensive businesses, combining electricity and heat production and access to TEE. - **Chemical:** integration of cogeneration into energy-intensive processes, including recovery heat for absorbers or thermal cycles. - **Textile:** replacement of conventional plants with cogeneration for dryers, furnaces, and continuous ventilation systems. - **Manufacturing:** tailored CAR solutions for production lines with high electrical and thermal loads, with annual TEE generation. - **Food:** trigeneration using recovered heat for refrigeration and domestic hot-water production. - **Agriculture:** CAR plants for heated greenhouses, drying, and processing systems. - **Healthcare:** continuous energy for HVAC, sterilization, and hot-water production. - **ICT and digital technologies:** trigeneration for data-center UPS and cooling systems, with access to TEE. ## Case study — Cereal Docks Cereal Docks is described as an industrial group in agro-food processing. The project site has constant and significant energy consumption, especially for drying and raw-material processing. ### Initial situation - High thermal consumption. - No cogeneration system in place. - Significant potential to improve efficiency and generate savings. ### Intervention and results stated on the page Two high-efficiency internal-combustion engines were installed and qualified as CAR: - **3.3 MW** engine. - **1.4 MW** engine. - Estimated savings: approximately **2,000 TEP/year**. - Reporting duration: **10 years**. - TEE obtained in 2023: **1,741 + 390**. - TEE obtained in 2024: **1,269 + 405**. Activities included a technical-economic feasibility study, installation of a tailored CAR plant, complete TEE management covering GSE procedures and valorization, and continuous performance monitoring. ## Case study — Plastipak Plastipak is described as an international company producing plastic containers for food and beverages. The site involved in the project has high energy demand, mainly for molding and cooling. ### Initial situation - High electrical and thermal consumption. - No cogeneration plant installed. ### Intervention and results stated on the page White Car designed and installed a high-efficiency CAR plant able to produce electrical, thermal, and cooling energy. - Estimated savings: approximately **2,769 TEP/year**. - Reporting duration: **10 years**. - Total TEE obtained from 2019 to 2024: **19,874 TEE**. Activities included plant technical design, installation and commissioning, complete TEE management, and performance monitoring through a dedicated system. ## Frequently asked questions ### What is a CAR plant? The page defines CAR as high-efficiency cogeneration that produces electricity and heat at the same time, and sometimes cooling energy, with higher efficiency than conventional separate systems. ### What are the TEE associated with a CAR plant? TEE can be recognized for CAR plants that demonstrate energy savings compared with separate generation of electricity and heat. The page states that each certificate corresponds to one tonne of oil equivalent saved. ### What are the economic benefits described on the page? The company can receive a direct return from selling TEE on the market and can also benefit from lower energy costs through self-generation. ### For how long can TEE be obtained? The page states that CAR plants can obtain TEE for up to **10 years**, depending on the type and size of the intervention.
