Groupe Curie is pleased to announce our collaboration with an Italian manufacturer, a leading producer of sustainable bio-materials for industrial use and the car industry. Together with the subsidiary BIOSYNTHETIX, we will be building a prototype of a Sustainable Bio-Materials Production Facility in Italy, which will be powered by green hydrogen and renewable energy. The facility will use an electrolyzer system to generate green hydrogen from renewable sources such as solar and wind energy. With 25 MW solar plant and 1 MW of wind-turbines, the facility will be able to produce several tons of green hydrogen per year, which will be used in the production process of sustainable bio-compounds.

Our team of engineers and scientists, in collaboration with the Italian fabric will work to optimize the production process to minimize waste and energy consumption. The prototype facility will also utilize cutting-edge technology in the production process, including high-pressure fermentation and bioreactors, to produce bio-plastics from organic waste materials.

The facility will be one of the first in Europe to produce bio-compounds in a truly sustainable way, using organic waste materials to produce eco-friendly, biodegradable bio-compounds with a low carbon footprint. The bio-compounds will be marketed to industrial customers and the car industry. Our goal is to create a prototype that is not only environmentally sustainable, but also economically viable. We believe that by leveraging our expertise and our commitment to sustainability, we can create a prototype that will be profitable and attractive to investors.

Once the prototype is established, we plan to replicate it in other locations, both in Italy and in other countries. Our aim is to create a network of sustainable bio-materials production facilities that will contribute to the development of a more sustainable and circular economy.

Overall, we are excited about this project and believe that it represents a unique opportunity to create a more sustainable future for ourselves and for future generations. The collaboration between the Italian fabric, BIOSYNTHETIX and Groupe Curie, and our commitment to building a prototype of a sustainable bio-materials production facility that can be replicated in other locations, represents a major step forward in our collective effort to combat climate change and promote sustainability.

To make industrial buildings sustainable, Groupe Curie has developed a self-contained concept and technology to produce energy during the day and night, store this energy in hydrogen and use it again when needed, e.g. to power a heat pump, lighting or charge an electric vehicle. The remaining energy can also be fed back into the public grid as needed.

Groupe Curie Switzerland will open a subsidiary in Dubai to handle the planning and development of client enquiries from Dubai. Dubai has set itself the goal of becoming the greenest city in the world. In the coming months, important meetings on planned green infrastructure projects will take place in Dubai with current and future business partners, potential clients and green infrastructure investors.

For a well-known Swiss industrial company, named Ferag AG, Groupe Curie AG, in cooperation with its Swiss subsidiary and the solar module manufacturer Meyerburger, will commission a solar plant for 1 MW by the end of December 2022. Due to the scarce energy resources in Europe, Groupe Curie have received numerous requests for the commissioning of a solar or wind plant with subsequent upgrade possibility to own hydrogen production. For the realization of the solar plant, high-grade and high-performance components with 380 Watt per solar module of the leading Swiss-German solar module manufacturer Meyerburger were used. Groupe Curie will realize further projects in Switzerland and Europe in the foreseeable future, relying on hetero-junction modules from the local company Meyerburger.

Groupe Curie, together with its solar cell partner, will build a highly efficient industrial solar plant with a capacity of 25 MW in south Italy, which will serve as the first step towards the construction of a solar park with a higher capacity. The solar park will also serve as an energy source for the planned hydrogen and ammonia plant. High-efficiency solar modules using heterojunction technology with amorphous cells are planned for the solar plant. The smart grid technology used enables effective management and distribution of the energy sources applied, such as solar, wind and industrial batteries. All energy resources are connected to the power grid via a variety of decentralised energy resources.

To maintain its lead in the production of green energy and green chemical products, it is important that the development and design of the technologies come from a single source. With the acquisition of shares in a Swiss solar development company that has already realized several solar projects throughout Europe, Groupe Curie will become even more agile in project implementation. This is an important step towards quality and service reliability. In addition, research and development of products in the solar cell sector is being driven forward, particularly in connection with high-performance solar cells with thin-film and tandem modules, which are suitable for energy generation in the chemical industry.

Groupe curie has opened an office in Alicante and will begin a project study for an ammonia plant in the area in the next few weeks.

Groupe Curie Switzerland opens a representation office in Italy to take over the planning and development of sustainable production facilities in Italy. The company will be established in Via Raffaele Morghen 36, 80129 Naples and will initially employ a team of technical and business consultants dedicated to the task of realizing the planned green hydrogen and green ammonia production plant in Italy.

A broad industrial consortium from Southern Italy, in collaboration with the local communities and university, was submitting a proposal to Groupe Curie for green energy and raw material supply to an entire industrial site with dozens of megawatts of energy demand. This give the Groupe Curie a chance to strategically anchor itself firmly with the local industry and take an important position as a strategical energy and resource supplier.

Groupe Curie and its engineering partners have developed a new industrial wind turbine design that can produce up to 40% more energy compared to the competitors. The industrial design is conceived in such a way that no blade wheels are visible from the outside and the construction also integrates well into the landscape. With the wind turbine it will be possible to maintain production also at night and in the winter period.

After several discussions with the local authorities, the municipalities, the region and the universities, Groupe Curie has located an industrial site in Southern Italy where a Green Hydrogen and Ammonia plant will be built. The construction of this new plant has been very well received by the local economic partners and representatives. The local universities and their departments will support the project. 

Groupe Curie has started discussions with important local partners from different consortia which would like to purchase hydrogen, ammonia and ammonium nitrate from Groupe Curie Italy. The most important consortia in Italy are ready for a strategic cooperation and have offered their hand. 

Groupe Curie board of directors aims for women in economic decision-making and moves in line with the resolution of the EU Parliament. The new Top Manager of Groupe Curie is a woman and is part of the board of directors and will with her huge experience in the field of industrial chemistry help to improve the Investment management and the strategy of the company. 

Groupe curie has developed an ammonia production plant design that incorporates high-efficiency production elements. This pioneering hydrogen and ammonia production will be groundbreaking for decades to come. The production plant is powered by different sustainable energy sources. The design allows a self-sufficient operation of the facility.

After laying the foundations for an efficient self-sufficient Green Ammonia production plant with world-leading energy engineering and technology partners, Groupe Curie is preparing a first feasibility study on a hydrogen and ammonia production plant in Italy. The project includes highly efficient electrolyzers, innovative electricity production from solar, wind and water, and breakthrough energy storage. The project is absolutely environmentally friendly and has zero waste.
