EP8 《Italian Clean Energy Technology Export》ft. Termokimik Corporation

In this interview, we sit down with Matteo Tritella and Carlo Baggiolini from Termokimik Corporation, a private Italian company founded in 1938, to uncover the secrets behind Italy's success and discuss the cutting-edge technologies driving the global push for net-zero emissions.Termokimik specializes in Air Quality Control, Waste to Energy (WtE), and Water Treatment, operating primarily under an EPC/Turnkey model. They have delivered over 300 successful projectsGuests:Matteo Tritella - Waste to EnergyCarlo Baggiolini - Carbon Capture StorageKey Takeaways from the Conversation:1. Regulation Drives Innovation in ItalyItaly’s extremely strict emission limits—up to 1,000 times lower than EU standards—were imposed due to public opposition to pollution from older plants. This stringent regulatory environment forced Italian firms to develop some of the most advanced flue gas treatment technologies worldwide.2. Waste to Energy (WtE) Closes the Circular LoopThe circular economy is a multi-step process: first, material recovery through recycling (paper, glass). Second, energy recovery from non-recyclable residues via WtE, preventing landfill disposal. Third, reusing incineration residues (bottom ashes) in construction.• Parona Project Success: Thermochemics delivered the massive Parona WtE plant (100 thermal MW) with electrical efficiency over 32% (well above the 25-30% average) and guaranteed emissions 70% lower than strict Italian limits.3. CCS: The Essential Step to Net ZeroCarbon Capture and Storage (CCS) is the only way to reach the net-zero goal for emissions from hard-to-abate sectors like cement production, coal firing, and portions of WtE.• The ETS Driver: CCS deployment in Europe is driven by the Emission Trade System (ETS). While CCS is expensive, the high cost of emitting CO2 (currently 60–70 Euro/ton, forecasted to double to 120–130 Euro in six years) will soon make installing CCS systems the most economically viable option for companies.• Global Projects: Thermochemics is currently working on a CCS pilot plant in Taichung, Taiwan.4. The "Tailor" Approach to EPCThermochemics, despite being a medium-sized company (approx. 100 employees), handles complex projects by acting like a "tailor". They design plants specifically according to the customer's needs rather than supplying standard products. They leverage their proprietary technology and use only in-house personnel for site supervision to maintain control and accelerate problem-solving#廢棄物能源化 #WasttoEnergy #CircularEconomy #CarbonCaptureStorage #ItalyTaiwanExchange #義大利台灣商會 #台義合作
