Helexia in the ceramics sector
How is the ceramics sector becoming more competitive and sustainable?
The ceramics sector in Portugal is made up of more than 1139 companies, 18,000 workers and stands out internationally as the world's 13th largest exporter. Facing competition from China, Italy and Spain, it stands out for its design, quality and sustainability.
With very intense energy consumption, and with gas and electricity accounting for a significant part of costs, decarbonization is an opportunity for companies in the sector to become more competitive in the markets where they operate.
This study shows how the ceramics sector is becoming more competitive by decarbonizing its production processes.
How is Helexia contributing to the decarbonization of the sector?
Helexia is already contributing to this energy transition by supporting eight major companies in the ceramics sector in Portugal, helping to decarbonize the sector.
Helexia's solar self-consumption projects have already generated 21 GWh of clean energy and avoided 9800 tons of CO2.
The study also includes an interview with Paulo Almeida, from the board of directors of Primus Ceram ics, and the case of Dominó Cerâmicas which, in addition to implementing a photovoltaic self-consumption plant, implemented energy efficiency measures with e+jackets.
Study Recipients
This case study is aimed at maintenance and operations directors, engineering teams, financial directors, sustainability directors and anyone interested in decarbonization and sustainability.
Are you interested in finding out how your company can become more competitive by implementing a decarbonization roadmap? To understand how the combination of various solar self-consumption, efficiency and optimization measures can make your business more competitive and efficient? Then this study can help.
Sustainable development is important for companies because it optimizes costs, strengthens their reputation, reduces their impact on the planet and helps attract talent.
By embracing sustainability, companies can create long-term value while contributing to a more sustainable and equitable world.
