Maximizing Energy Efficiency

Given the energy-intensive nature of our production, reducing our energy consumption remains a challenging task that we are determined to achieve. GELITA is continuously optimizing processes in terms of energy efficiency and investing in modernizing facilities.

Reducing Energy Consumption

To reduce energy consumption in our manufacturing processes, we continuously optimize efficiency and invest in modernizing our facilities. This includes constructing new boiler houses, installing new spray dryers, increasing the use of renewable electricity, and generating our own solar energy. 

For instance, GELITA operates a solar park in Chicago, USA, and is exploring solar power projects at other locations.

Our ambitious goal for 2030 is to reduce our specific energy footprint by 30% compared to 2020.
