Sustainability - Simic S.p.A.

Sustainability

promoting sustainability

We strive every day to strengthen our sustainability values through an integrated approach that takes into account environmental, social and economical aspects.

Our main sustainability Goals

A sustainable development program is important for outlining the strategies of SIMIC to ensure a sustainable energy transition.

Decarbonization

To reduce our carbon footprint and bring our contribution toward net zero economy:

By reducing the daily consumption of gas and electricity, implementing latest generation machinery and equipment with a lower consumption of gas and electricity
By investing in renewable energies
Support sustainable projects and carbon free sectors (nuclear and fusion)
Research and development of innovative and low emissions solutions (Simlab)

Social values and care for our territory

We support local initiatives to bring welfare and benefit to our personnel and our community:

Support the local nursery to give a service to our employees and to local community
Support sports initiatives for kids and young generations acting in our area
Support health care organizations acting in our area
Support cultural initiatives in our area
Invest in creating collaborations with local schools and institutes, promoting the culture of work and technical specialization and support the young to approach the working environment and facilitate the start of a working life in our territory

Health & Safety of our people is our top priority
SIMIC is investing in new structures to support and encourage sports and care of our health (new guesthouse and fitness center at SIMIC premises)
SIMIC is investing in new offices and renovate the facilities to offer our personnel an always more pleasant working environment.

Renewable energy

SIMIC is engaged in renewable power generation since 2010, with solar and wind plants fully owned, developed and built.

Mission

SIMIC’s overarching goal is to play a role in the advancement towards a green energy transition, to ensure a secure and sustainable future for the upcoming generations.
Through the installation and integration of cutting-edge technology, like solar and wind farms, SIMIC aims to increase awareness around environmental responsibility and friendliness. In addition, we are evaluating both the adoption of advanced energy storage systems that would allow us to overcome the challenges linked to the variability of renewable sources, guaranteeing a constant and reliable energy supply, and the use of intelligent networks (smart grids) for efficient management of energy distribution, optimizing the use of resources and minimizing losses. These technologies, such as energy management systems (EMS) and the Internet of Things (IoT), will further help monitor and control energy use in real time by improving efficiency and reducing waste.
We believe that through collaborative efforts and dedicated initiatives, we will drive significant progress towards a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable world

Vision & Roadmap

To increase the portfolio of renewables plants within the next 5 years.

Current figure

25 MW solar plants + 35 MW wind plants
100 GWh of energy produced per year
Equal to 17 times the internal energy intake, enough to power more than 40,000 houses
~30,000 tons of avoided CO2 emissions per year
Equivalent to the CO2 absorption of ~1,200,000 trees

On-going projects

120 MW wind plants under construction
300 GWh of energy produced per year
Enough to power more than 120,000 houses
~90,000 tons of avoided CO2 emissions per year
Equivalent to the CO2 absorption of ~3,500,000 trees

In 2022, with the 30 MW “Fiume Santo” wind plant in Sardinia (Italy), SIMIC took a leading role in energy transition and evolution of wind turbines by installing the first 6 MW wind turbine in Italy.

Wind turbine model: V162-6.0 MW
Number of turbines: 5
Rotor diameter: 162 m
Hub height: 119 m
Tip height: 200 m

The project featured the largest and most powerful wind turbine ever installed in Italy until then.
