Bracco Inaugurates Biomethane Facility in Tuscany for Emissions Reduction
What happened
Bracco and Genera New Energy inaugurated a biomethane production facility in Tuscany. The project converted an existing Greenway facility and will supply renewable gas to Bracco's thermal power plant at the Ceriano Laghetto site. The annual production is equivalent to approximately 35% of the natural gas currently used to generate steam for manufacturing.

Why it matters
This initiative is a key part of Bracco's long-term emissions reduction strategy. Through a Biomethane Purchase Agreement, the facility is expected to contribute to avoiding about 8,000 tonnes of COâ‚‚ equivalent per year over the next 15 years.
