SynopsisDuferco, a leader in renewable energy, embarks on an ambitious €250 million investment project to build Europe's largest beam rolling mill. Inaugurated with esteemed dignitaries present, this project signifies one of Italy's most significant steel investments in decades. The Smart Beam Manufacturing rolling mill combines cutting-edge technology with sustainability, aiming for circularity and a minimal environmental footprint. Powered by renewable energy sources, this innovation marks a vital step towards decarbonization and energy transition.Article:Duferco, a notable player in the renewable energy and steel industry, is taking a bold step forward with a €250 million strategic investment. The goal is to construct Europe's largest beam rolling mill, a project inaugurated with the presence of distinguished figures, including the Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, and Duferco Group's president, Antonio Gozzi. The Lombardy Region's Governor, Attilio Fontana, and the president of Confindustria, Carlo Bonomi, also graced the ceremony with their presence.The new Smart Beam Manufacturing rolling mill is a result of more than a decade of collective effort by the men and women of the Duferco Group. This endeavor represents one of Italy's most significant steel investments in recent history. It's poised to optimize the overall efficiency of the industrial process in various aspects.With a potential annual production capacity of 700,000 tons of rolled steel and the creation of over 150 jobs, the Duferco Group aims to establish itself as the best cost producer of beams on an international scale.What makes this project unique is its commitment to sustainability. The new beam rolling mill in San Zeno Naviglio is a testament to technology and innovation serving a large industrial plant. The Ministry for Economic Development has recognized it as a "high impact technological innovation" due to its focus on circular economy and sustainability. It's also Europe's first rolling mill ready to operate entirely on renewable energy. This is made possible through a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with a major wind energy producer, combined with solar energy from the existing plant. This shift towards alternative energy is expected to reduce the environmental impact, saving around 28,000 tonnes of indirect CO2 emissions annually and significantly contributing to decarbonization.Duferco Travi e Profilati is leading the way in digitalization, leveraging advanced technologies and artificial intelligence to optimize the production process, ensure energy efficiency, and maximize resource and raw material usage. This approach aligns with the goal of "Zero Waste" and a circular economy.In the words of Alfonso Urso, Minister of Business and Made in Italy, the steel industry is a crucial asset for Italy's industrial system. It directly contributes to the country's manufacturing turnover and has significant indirect effects on various sectors. The inauguration of the new SBM (Smart Beam Manufacturing) rolling mill is part of Italy's industrial policy to enhance competitiveness in the global context while maintaining the strategic role of the steel industry.ttilio Fontana, President of the Lombardy Region, expressed how this €250 million investment and the employment of over 150 individuals will position the Brescia area and Lombardy as an international steel sector reference center, contributing to national self-sufficiency in metal product production.or Antonio Gozzi, President of the Duferco Group, innovating in the steel industry while ensuring sustainability is key to maintaining a competitive advantage in Europe. This involves using modern digital and big data analysis technologies to save energy, water, enhance safety, and verify product quality. He believes that sustainability and innovation go hand in hand and that the future of the steel industry and the broader industry will undoubtedly be sustainable.his ambitious project embodies a commitment to a greener and more sustainable future, blending the power of technology with a dedication to reducing the environmental footprint.ConclusionDuferco's €250 million investment project marks a major leap in green innovation with Europe's largest beam rolling mill. This ambitious endeavor combines cutting-edge technology with sustainability, emphasizing circularity and renewable energy sources. Notably, it's set to become Europe's first rolling mill to run entirely on renewable energy, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. This forward-looking approach embraces innovation, sustainability, and the future of the steel industry.
