- **Summary:** Two cogeneration plants for Cereal Docks Group sites were delivered by Future Energy under an energy-service and EPC model, with more than €4 million of investment and expected savings in energy use, costs, and emissions.

## Project completion

The page states that on February 13, 2025 the second of two new cogeneration plants entered operation for companies belonging to the Cereal Docks Group.

Future Energy srl, a wholly owned subsidiary of White Energy Group SpA, handled the project for the Cereal Docks site in Marghera, Venice, and the Ital Green Oil site in San Pietro di Morubio, Verona.

## Investment and contract model

The plants were built through an energy-service formula combined with an EPC model. The page describes performance guarantees for the interventions and states that Future Energy assumed the financing burden.

The article reports total investment above €4 million, while the heading identifies an ESCo investment of €4.3 million.

## Technical interventions

At San Pietro di Morubio, the project includes a new **AB Energy Ecomax 2.0** cogeneration plant with electrical capacity of **2.0 MWe**, together with steam supply through an integration boiler.

At Marghera, the existing **4.4 MWe** cogeneration plant, including a duplex boiler for steam production, was fully upgraded.

## Expected savings and emissions reduction

The page states that the interventions are expected to:

- reduce the cost of electricity, thermal energy, and potentially refrigeration energy;
- save more than **1,000 toe** of primary energy and fossil fuels;
- reduce emissions by more than **2,000 tons of CO2**;
- efficiently produce electricity and heat in combination.

## Company statements

Gianluigi Mele, managing director of Whitenergy, highlights the use of directly financed cogeneration projects through the EnPC model.

Franco Asuni, Chief Business Development at Whitenergy, presents cogeneration as a way to reduce industrial dependence on the electricity grid. Salvatore Fadda, head of O&M at Whitenergy and administrator of Future Energy, emphasizes the expected CO2 reduction.

Paolo Fanin, Vice President of Cereal Docks, points to the objective of implementing the projects without disrupting normal plant activity. Luca Franzosi, energy manager at Cereal Docks, highlights savings on energy-supply costs as important for industrial competitiveness.
