PPG completes on-site solar installation at Caivano, Italy facility
PPG has completed an on-site solar installation at its Caivano, Italy facility, marking significant progress toward its 2030 greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets. The 1.5 megawatt installation, developed in partnership with Grastim, will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 390 metric tons annually. Combined with a previously installed combined heat and power unit (CHP), the facility is achieving roughly 15% reduction in annual operating costs.
The CHP unit, installed in 2021, captures waste heat to produce steam and hot water, resulting in an annual reduction of approximately 1,100 metric tons of CO2 emissions. The Caivano facility, which employs over 120 people, manufactures electrocoat products for industrial and automotive markets and decorative resins for PPG's automotive and refinish plants.
PPG ha completato un'installazione di energia solare presso il suo stabilimento di Caivano, in Italia, segnando un progresso significativo verso i suoi obiettivi di riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra entro il 2030. L'installazione da 1,5 megawatt, sviluppata in collaborazione con Grastim, ridurrà le emissioni di CO2 di circa 390 tonnellate metriche all'anno. Combinata con un'unità di cogenerazione (CHP) precedentemente installata, la struttura sta raggiungendo circa il 15% di riduzione dei costi operativi annuali.
L'unità CHP, installata nel 2021, cattura il calore di scarto per produrre vapore e acqua calda, portando a una riduzione annuale di circa 1.100 tonnellate metriche di emissioni di CO2. Lo stabilimento di Caivano, che impiega oltre 120 persone, produce prodotti elettrocoat per i mercati industriali e automobilistici e resine decorative per gli impianti automobilistici e di riconfezionamento di PPG.

PPG는 이탈리아 카이바노에 있는 시설에 현장 태양광 설치를 완료하여 2030년까지 온실가스 배출량 감소 목표에 대한 중요한 진전을 이루었습니다. 그라스팀과 협력하여 개발된 1.5 메가와트 설치는 매년 약 390톤의 CO2 배출량을 줄일 것입니다. 이전에 설치된 열병합 발전(CHP) 장치와 결합하여 이 시설은 연간 운영 비용을 약 15% 절감하고 있습니다.
2021년에 설치된 CHP 장치는 폐열을 포집하여 증기와 온수를 생산하여 매년 약 1,100톤의 CO2 배출량을 줄입니다. 120명 이상의 직원이 근무하는 카이바노 시설은 산업 및 자동차 시장을 위한 전자 코팅 제품과 PPG의 자동차 및 재도장 공장을 위한 장식용 수지를 제조합니다.
PPG a achevé une installation solaire sur site dans son usine de Caivano, en Italie, marquant un progrès significatif vers ses objectifs de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre pour 2030. L'installation de 1,5 mégawatt, développée en partenariat avec Grastim, permettra de réduire les émissions de CO2 d'environ 390 tonnes métriques par an. Combinée à une unité de cogénération (CHP) précédemment installée, l'usine réalise une réduction d'environ 15 % des coûts opérationnels annuels.
L'unité CHP, installée en 2021, capte la chaleur résiduelle pour produire de la vapeur et de l'eau chaude, entraînant une réduction annuelle d'environ 1 100 tonnes métriques d'émissions de CO2. L'usine de Caivano, qui emploie plus de 120 personnes, fabrique des produits de revêtement électrolytique pour les marchés industriel et automobile ainsi que des résines décoratives pour les usines automobiles et de réparation de PPG.
PPG hat eine Vor-Ort-Solaranlage in seinem Werk in Caivano, Italien, fertiggestellt, was einen bedeutenden Fortschritt in Richtung seiner Ziele zur Reduzierung der Treibhausgasemissionen bis 2030 markiert. Die Installation mit 1,5 Megawatt, die in Zusammenarbeit mit Grastim entwickelt wurde, wird die CO2-Emissionen um etwa 390 metrische Tonnen pro Jahr reduzieren. In Kombination mit einer zuvor installierten Kraft-Wärme-Kopplungsanlage (CHP) erzielt die Anlage eine Einsparung von etwa 15 % der jährlichen Betriebskosten.
Die im Jahr 2021 installierte CHP-Anlage nutzt Abwärme zur Erzeugung von Dampf und Warmwasser, was zu einer jährlichen Reduzierung von etwa 1.100 metrischen Tonnen CO2-Emissionen führt. Das Werk in Caivano, das über 120 Mitarbeiter beschäftigt, produziert Elektrotauchprodukte für industrielle und automotive Märkte sowie dekorative Harze für die PPG-Automobil- und Nachbearbeitungsanlagen.

Project enables further progress toward 2030 emissions reduction targets
CAIVANO,
The project is part of a partnership with Grastim, a developer of high-efficiency energy generation solutions. The 1.5 megawatt solar installation represents a CO2 emission reduction of approximately 390 metric tons annually. Combined with a previously installed combined heat and power unit (CHP), the site is achieving an approximate
“We’re committed to implementing processes and systems that will enable us to close in on our 2030 emissions reduction targets, which are validated by the Science Based Targets initiative,” said Mike Corcoran, PPG global manager, operational sustainability. “Caivano is a strong example of how we’re ensuring our sites operate in a more sustainable and operationally efficient way.”
The on-site solar installation complements the CHP unit, which was installed by Grastim in 2021. The unit captures waste heat created when generating electricity to produce steam and hot water for the site, resulting in an annual reduction of approximately 1,100 metric tons of CO2 emissions.
“We are proud to be part of PPG’s path towards its sustainability goals,” said Gianfranco Milani, managing director, Grastim. “We recognize that on-site solar photovoltaic production, hybridized with energy efficiency projects, are key elements to drive manufacturing facilities towards their decarbonization targets. We trust this way of partnering with PPG will support future mutual ambitions and achievements.”
The Caivano facility manufactures electrocoat products for the industrial and automotive markets and decorative resins for PPG’s automotive and refinish plants. It has more than 120 employees.
