Genera New Energy and Bracco inaugurate biomethane plant in Tuscany
In Italy, Genera New Energy and Bracco Imaging announced the inauguration of a biomethane production facility in Tuscany, Italy. The project represents one of the key initiatives in Bracco’s long-term emissions reduction strategy and combines Bracco’s direct involvement with Genera New Energy’s investment, development and operational capabilities in sustainable energy infrastructure.
Under a Biomethane Purchase Agreement, Bracco will secure access to the renewable gas attributes associated with the facility’s full biomethane production through certified Guarantees of Origin.
The annual production is equivalent to approximately 35% of the natural gas currently consumed by the thermal power plant at Bracco’s Ceriano Laghetto site to generate steam for manufacturing processes. Based on the certified renewable gas attributes secured through the Biomethane Purchase Agreement, the project is expected to contribute to the avoidance of approximately 8,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year associated with steam generation activities over the next 15 years.
