In a context where sustainability and energy efficiency have become mandatory criteria, the BBE – Bosco Bio Energy cooperative represents a brilliant example of how agricultural resources can be enhanced in perfect harmony with the social fabric of Bosco Chiesanuova (VR). The adoption of 2G's agenitor 408 cogenerator has ushered in an innovative circular economy model, which deserves to be examined in detail.

The need for an environmentally friendly approach to the management of livestock residues, combined with the need for sustainable energy solutions for heating municipal facilities, has pushed BBE towards the search for innovative paths. The choice of cogeneration has emerged as the most effective solution to face these challenges, with specific requirements given by the location at high altitude and the need for a system with high efficiency and reliability.

The decision to rely on 2G Italia was driven by the company's reputation for offering high-quality, robust cogeneration solutions suitable for even the most demanding conditions. The agenitor 408 stood out for its high efficiency, ability to operate in high-altitude environments and advanced software for optimal plant management. The installation in the technical compartment and the premium service provided by 2G have further raised the level of operational excellence.

The electricity generated is sold to the national grid, making the investment economically sustainable and ensuring an indispensable residue management service for local farms. The heat produced is effectively used for heating the bio-fermenter and important community infrastructures, leading to a significant reduction in energy costs and a tangible improvement in the quality of life in the community.

The installation of the 2G cogenerator has brought concrete benefits: optimal wastewater management in an area subject to strict environmental regulations, the elimination of energy costs for the cooperative and the supply of heat for heating vital infrastructures for citizens.

With an investment payback time of only 5 years and excellent results in terms of energy production and service efficiency, the BBE plant has established itself as a success story in the agricultural cogeneration landscape.The project received a special mention in the "Energy for the future and sustainability" category at Coldiretti Veneto's Green Oscars in 2022, an award that underlines the important impact of the initiative on the environment and the community.

The case of BBE – Bosco Bio Energy demonstrates the effectiveness and sustainability of cogeneration not only in the agricultural sector, but also as an engine of well-being and development for local communities, also translating into a synergistic collaboration between the agricultural sector of farmers gathered in a cooperative and the municipal body to which they belong. Thanks to the synergy with 2G Italia, BBE has embarked on a path of sustainability that intertwines technological innovation, respect for the environment and social responsibility, proposing itself as a replicable model and source of inspiration for the entire sector.
