Brief
Martini & Rossi, a renowned beverage production company based in Turin, Italy, has embraced solar thermal technology to enhance its sustainability efforts. With a solar thermal capacity of 400 kWth generated from a solar collector area spanning 600m², the solar thermal system contributes significantly to the energy needs of Martini & Rossi and underlines the company’s dedication to renewable energy solutions.
Technology
The integration of high-vacuum flat plate collectors, supplied by TVP Solar, shows innovative engineering. This system operates on a dual-use basis, providing steam at 3.7 bar g (155°C) for crucial process heat during summer and hot water at 90°C for space heating during winter. The annual energy delivery amounts to 390 MWh per year.
Thanks to this Solar Heat for Industrial Processes (SHIP) installation, approximately 107 tonnes of CO2 emissions are prevented from entering the earth’s atmosphere every year.
