The customer

Michelin Italia’s Cuneo factory, its biggest vehicle tyre production facility in western Europe, has a capacity of 13 million tyres a year.

The requirement

Development of a roadmap for gradual containment of CO₂ emissions, thus contributing to the brand’s sustainability policy, which aims to cut its emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach Net Zero level by 2050.

Study and development of a decarbonisation roadmap

Minimize environmental impact

Immediately energy provision from renewable sources

Build the infrastructure needed to maximize the use of renewable energy

Edison NEXT’s solution

Together with the customer, we drew up a roadmap for gradual containment of CO₂ emissions and developed a series of targeted interventions, also preparing the ground for implementing innovative solutions involving the use of biomethane and hydrogen.

Trigeneration plant

Building and installation of a new high efficiency trigeneration plant capable of producing electrical energy, steam and water for heating and cooling.

Photovoltaic

Building of photovoltaic plants installed on parking shelters and in other available areas.

Steam supply

Building of an integrated system consisting of boilers to provide steam, also involving the use of short supply chain wood biomass.

Biomethane and hydrogen

Possibility of implementing innovative solutions also in terms of using biomethane and hydrogen.
