Pursuing carbon neutrality
This is why we defined our Climate transition plan, which charts the path to net-zero emissions by 2050, with an intermediate step in 2030. Our goal is to reduce emissions by around 90% and to remove from the atmosphere the residual emissions, acting on three levels: reducing our own consumption (continuing to power with 100% renewable electricity), and the footprint of our operations; offering solutions to accompany our customers in the energy transition; and continuing to invest in renewable energy. These actions not only reduce the emissions produced, but avoid producing new ones, combining economic growth and climate change mitigation.

on Hera sites and in other areas; 150 MW of photovoltaic power sold and from the development of energy communities by 2027
sold on the free market by 2027
produced by 2027 (200 GWh by 2030): 17 million m3 of biomethane and 770 tonnes of green hydrogen

sold on the free market in 2024 (42.6% in 2023)
produced in 2024 thanks to 10.1 million m3 of biomethane from organic waste. Work have started on the power-to-gas plant at the Bologna Corticella purification plant and the design of green hydrogen production facilities in Modena and Trieste
installed by 2028 (owned, sold and at third parties, such as energy parks and agrivoltaic systems), of which 177 MW on Hera sites
sold on the free market by 2028
produced by 2028: 12 million m3 of biomethane and 770 tonnes of green hydrogen
(Scope 1+2+3 from gas and electricity sales) by 2030 with SBTi method compared to 2019. Launch the Hera Net Zero project
in 2024 compared to 2019. Climate transition plan at 1.5 °C published with the Hera Group’s Net Zero commitment
by 2028 with SBTi method compared to 2019 thanks to internal and pro-customer decarbonisation measures. Approximately 90% reduction by 2050 with removal of all residual emissions to achieve Net Zero
