Innovation in projects
We develop new products, services and infrastructure, or improve existing ones, through new features and technological solutions such as artificial intelligence and Data Analytics, to promote the efficient use of resources, the energy transition and the circular economy.
An example of this is FIB3R, the innovative plant in Imola that recycles carbon composites, a driver of environmentally beneficial recycling that enhances the sustainability of industrial activities.
Another example is the Smarty bin, designed to improve separate waste collection, built with modular materials, solar panels, fill-level sensors, video surveillance and sanitisation systems.
Technological and materials innovation
Renewable energy generation, biomethane production from organic waste, integrated water service management and an integrated environmental management system, environmental services using electric vehicles: by applying technological and industrial advances across the Group’s business areas, we support the ecological, energy and digital transition of local businesses and communities with effective projects and solutions.
Focus on innovation Innovation also means research and development
Innovation also means searching, anticipating, discovering and seeing the value in both current and future contexts.

Highlights
A revolution built on the circular economy
From organic waste to biomethane: thanks to separate waste collection, waste is fed into an anaerobic digestion process to produce biogas. This is what happens at the Spilamberto plant, a biodigester converted into a biomethane facility.
Biomethane plantMyHera: all services in a single app
Dedicated to Hera Group residential customers, this new version of the app is designed to make service management even simpler and faster.
NexMeter: the smart gas meter offering innovation, safety and sustainability
