Case Study: Solar Thermal at Birra Peroni Brewery

Birra Peroni, part of the Asahi Group, partnered with RTC Solutions Provider Absolicon to deploy an innovative solar thermal system at its Bari, Italy brewery. Commissioned in June 2023, the 460 kW ground-mounted field of parabolic trough collectors generates renewable hot water and steam at temperatures up to 140°C for the brewery’s pasteurization process, avoiding 50 metric tons of CO2 emissions annually. A heat purchase agreement ensures that Birra Peroni receives renewable heat at a constant price.

The case study examines the one-year pilot project’s operational performance, the importance of thermal storage in managing supply and demand variations, and how this installation advances Birra Peroni’s goal of achieving zero carbon emissions across its brewing facilities by 2030.
