Electricity consumption for cooling energy production represents between 30% and 50% of the total bill of dairies. Therefore, it is obviously crucial to consider the efficiency of refrigeration systems. Dairy managers often find themselves thinking about the opportunities and costs arising from the replacement of such plants, mainly for two reasons: a. obsolescence: the efficiency […]
The geopolitical crisis of recent months has introduced a worrying level of uncertainty about gas supply, consequently increasing energy prices. In this scenario, companies are thinking with renewed interest about energy efficiency issues and the dairies producing Grana Padano are no exception. What can producers really do to protect themselves? Certainly, even in a medium-long […]
The EDSS software developed by the LIFE TTGG project concerns the dairy production of cow milk, but the way the tool has been designed and developed makes it suitable to support environmental decisions (EDSS, in Italian SSDA) also for other production companies with high energy consumption. First of all, let’s find out its working functions, EDSS […]
The project involves 7 highly qualified partners: Consorzio tutela Grana Padano, Politecnico di Milano, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore di Piacenza, Fondazione Qualivita, oriGIn, Enersem and CNIEL Here is the portrait of energy efficiency in dairies! To be precise, this is the picture of thermal and electrical consumption normalized to the quantity of milk treated. […]
A more energy efficient dairy is more economically efficient too. This is demonstrated by the studies carried out by Enersem, as part of LIFE TTGG project, in collaboration with the Grana Padano Cheese Protection Consortium, Milan Politecnico and Cattolica University of Piacenza. This increased efficiency can have a very positive impact on the entire dairy’s […]
The LIFE TTGG project “The tough get going” was co-funded by the European Environment and Climate Action Programme (Life 2014-2020). The objective of the project is to orient the development of the dairy sector towards an improvement in the production process efficiency, in order to guarantee its growth and preserve quality in the perspective of […]
