Commitment with the environment
LABORATORIOS ERN S.A. has always been committed to the environment and climate change and makes daily efforts to reduce its carbon footprint.
In 2019, a study was initiated to improve and promote sustainable energy generation for the company’s self-consumption in order to reduce costs as well as the carbon footprint.
Thus, in June 2020, the first photovoltaic installation of 114,4 kWp was completed at the company’s logistics centre, located at the Sant Andreu de la Barca site (Barcelona). The second installation was located in the Barcelona headquarter of the company with a photovoltaic installation of 70,56kWp.
Although the company intends to expand the installation in the short term, for the moment both installations avoids the extraction of 19 tonnes of oil per year, reducing a total of 108.430 kg of CO2 equivalent to 4.338 trees.
The current photovoltaic plant has an electricity supply generated from solar power consisting of 670 modules with a unit capacity of 280 Wp, through which ERN expects to reduce its dependence on grid energy consumption.
Currently, the greenhouse gas savings are 157.26 tons (Tn).
The Sant Andreu de la Barca plant has 418 photovoltaic panels (modules) of 280 Wp each, totaling 117 kWp.
The Peru plant has 252 photovoltaic panels (modules) of 280 Wp each, totaling 70.5 kWp.
The following graph shows the monthly energy consumption versus energy generation. Although it is observed that the energy generated is lower than the energy consumed, we see a significant improvement in profitability and electricity consumption during solar hours.
On the other hand, in addition to the environmental benefits, thanks to the current photovoltaic plant, Laboratorios ERN will be able to stabilize a significant part of its energy costs, thereby cushioning the cost of electricity.
