- **Summary:** The press release covers two cogeneration projects for Cereal Docks group companies, their financing and performance model, plant specifications, and the energy, cost and emissions savings stated in the article.

## Project scope

The second of the two cogeneration plants was started on 13 February 2025 for two companies in the Cereal Docks group.

The operation was handled by Future Energy S.r.l., wholly controlled by White Energy Group S.p.A., for facilities at:

- Marghera, Venice;
- Ital Green Oil in San Pietro di Morubio, Verona.

## Investment and contractual model

The heading describes the ESCo investment as €4.3 million, while the article body states total investments above €4 million.

The plants were developed using an energy-service formula combined with an EPC model, with performance guarantees for the implemented interventions and the financing burden assumed by Future Energy.

The article also refers to Whitenergy's experience with directly financed cogeneration interventions under an EnPC (Energy Performance Contract) formula.

## Technical details

At San Pietro di Morubio, the project includes:

- a new AB Energy Ecomax 2.0 cogeneration unit;
- electrical capacity of 2.0 MWe;
- steam supply through an integration boiler.

At Marghera, the existing cogeneration plant was fully refurbished. The article describes:

- electrical capacity of 4.4 MWe;
- a duplex boiler for steam production.

## Expected energy and emissions results

According to the article, the interventions are expected to provide:

- savings on the procurement costs of electricity, thermal energy and potentially cooling energy;
- primary-energy and fossil-fuel savings above 1,000 tonnes of oil equivalent;
- a reduction of more than 2,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions;
- efficient combined production of electricity and heat.

Cereal Docks representatives also state that the interventions were completed quickly despite authorization complexity and without disrupting normal plant operations, while highlighting significant savings in energy procurement costs.
