- **Summary:** The page describes a natural gas cogeneration project at Distillerie Bonollo Umberto's Conselve facility, including technical output, estimated energy and emissions savings, and White Energy Group's role across the project phases.

## Project overview

Distillerie Bonollo Umberto Spa of Maestrino, Padua, launched a natural gas cogeneration plant at its Conselve facility as part of its sustainability and energy-efficiency initiatives.

White Energy Group, an ESCO specialized in consulting and implementing efficiency solutions for large industrial companies, was responsible for studying the intervention.

## Technical characteristics and expected savings

The plant uses a natural gas reciprocating engine with:

| Item | Value |
|---|---:|
| Electrical power | 1,498 kW |
| Thermal power | 1,550 kW |
| Approximate annual electrical production | 9.7 million kWh |
| Approximate annual thermal production | 10.1 million kWh |
| Approximate annual energy saving | 1,250 tonnes of oil equivalent |
| Approximate annual CO2-equivalent reduction | 2,500 tonnes |

The page states that the emissions reduction is calculated relative to obtaining the electricity from the grid.

## White Energy Group's role

White Energy Group supported Distillerie Bonollo through several phases of the project, including:

- analysis of the plant's energy consumption;
- selection of the optimal technology among reciprocating engines, gas/steam turbines, ORC systems, and other alternatives;
- support in defining and optimizing thermal energy vectors;
- the request for connection to the electricity grid;
- customs-related procedures;
- CAR prequalification, preparatory to requesting and obtaining TEE CAR certificates.

## Sustainability context

Franco Asuni, Business Developer at Whitenergy, notes that Distillerie Bonollo Umberto already operates photovoltaic, biomass, and biogas plants, including systems powered by its own processing waste, and links the project to sustainability, environmental protection, and circular-economy goals.

Filippo Bonollo states that the company has long focused on reducing the energy use of its plants and the environmental impact of production, and highlights Whitenergy's support in identifying the technical efficiency-recovery solution and carrying out the economic analysis.
