Our energy

 

Day after day, the Iren Group contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions through specific investments and projects, such as: heat accumulators.

Reduction and periodic

verification of achievements 

 

Heat storage systems have the function of storing the thermal energy produced by cogeneration thermoelectric plants during the hours when demand is lower than the production capacity of the cogeneration plants, in order to release it, efficiently, during the peak load hours of the district heating network. This way, the operation of the cogeneration system is optimised.
