Zuccato Energia
Transforming energy since 2006
Zuccato Energia is an italian firm, based in Verona with distributors all over the world, which has several years'experience in design, manufacture and installation of heat-to-electricity system based on the Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC)
Our Numbers
Manufacturers, not just integrators
Zuccato Energia is not just a symple system integrator but a manufacturer with several years of experience that designs and builds its own power generation modules using the most advanced simulation software and CAD / CAM systems
Our History
Foundation
The future Zuccato Energia is founded as Enernova Srl by the Italian entrepreneur Alessandro Zuccato and the physicist Beniamino Benato.
First Experiments
An intense R&D activity in the area of alternative power generation systems (e.g. Stirling engines and gasification) goes on for a few years.
Start of R&D activity on ORC systems
Putting other technologies aside due to their poor efficiencies, Zuccato Energia concentrates its research on Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) systems.
First Commercial Plant
Zuccato Energia receives its first order: a plant with two ZE-50-ULH 50-kWE ORC modules for the Rottensteiner firm in Renon (near Bozen, South Tyrol)
First 5 plants installed
Word of the efficiency and ease of use of the ULH-Series systems spreads: within one year of the first plant, other four plants get installed - the fifth at Veritas, the utility company serving Venice.
10th plant - the LT Series rolls out
The success of Zuccato Energia ORC modules goes on unabated: within the years'end the 10th plant is installed, inauguration the new series of modules run by overheated water - the LT Series.
First Installation Abroad
In the first months of the year, the first plant outside Italian territory is installed : it's the Benneckenstein plant, in Germany, in the Saxony-Anhalt länder.
15th plant installed
By mid-year Zuccato Energia commissions its fifteenth plant : it's the 100-kWe genset heat recovery plant in Barnstorf, Lower Saxony (Germany).
First Overseas Plant
Two plants for primary production from biomass are commissioned in two farms in Indiana (USA): one 175-kWe single-module plant and a 1-MWe plant based on two paired ZE-500-LT units.
First plant in the Far East
At the beginning of the year the first Zuccato Energia module in Asia is installed - it's the first heat recovery unit for the power generation plant of Heuksando Island, off the shore of South Korea.

Maintenance
Zuccato Energia's customer care extends far beyond supply and commissioning, with maintenance services ranging from contract maintenance to 24/7 on-call service to ensure your plant always operates constantly and reliably.
-
Integration
We can offer solutions ranging from supplying simple flange-to-flange modules to delivering complete turn-key installations complete with thermal source, fully integrated by us or in cooperation with customer-chosen integrators.
-
Financing
Our experience allows us to supply reliable financial simulations and business plans to cover any scenario. Thanks to our highly-qualified partnerships, we can also help you find an Es.Co. or financial support for your project.
Our Technologies
-
ORC
(Organic Rankine Cycle)
A range of organic Rankine cycle power generation modules designed to convert low-temperature heat (86°C and up) from waste heat recovery systems or biomass boilers into electricity

Our Vision
We believe efficiency is the core of a sustainable and profitable economy for companies worldwide.
Waste heat rejected from industries, biomass, engines or transport sector can - and must - be valorized to produce environmental and economic benefits. Zuccato Energia produces Organic Rankine Cycle systems designed to achieve this goal in a safe, reliable and convenient way.
