A 1 MW FUEL CELL PLANT AT FERRARI’S MARANELLO FACILITIES.
04 July 2022
Ferrari
takes a further step towards its aim of becoming carbon neutral by 2030 thanks
to a new 1 MW solid oxide fuel cell plant at its Maranello facilities.
The
plant was built by Bloom Energy and installed a few days ago. It provides 5% of
the energy required for Ferrari’s production activities[1]
while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Compared to CHP (Combined Heat
and Power) cogeneration systems, gas requirements are cut by around 20% with a
significant energy saving.
In
addition to high levels of efficiency, this innovative technology platform offers
flexibility in the choice of energy sources required to power the plant:
hydrogen, natural gas, biomethane or a combination, converting the fuel into
electricity without combustion.
