De Nora accelerates its decarbonization path: 6.3 gwh/year of installed capacity for renewable energy

Milan, 19th February 2026 – Industrie De Nora S.p.A., Italian multinational listed on Euronext Milan, specialized in the electrochemical industry and leader in sustainable technologies and in the green hydrogen industry (“De Nora”)– reaches a new milestone in its global project to decarbonize its production sites through the installation of new photovoltaic systems at its plants in Japan and China. The new systems bring the Group's total installed potential capacity to 6.3 GWh/y, contributing to the progressive achievement of the goals of De Nora's Sustainability Plan for 2030.

Specifically, installations have been completed at the Okayama production site in Japan and at the Suzhou plant in China, with a potential total annual capacity of approximately 1.2 GWh. The installed systems will gradually come into operation over the next few quarters of the year.

Once fully operational, the new photovoltaic systems will cover approximately 35% of the energy requirements of the Japanese site and 15% of those of the Chinese site, representing a further step of the decarbonization process of all De Nora production facilities worldwide.

The new installations add to those already completed and brought into operation over the past two years at the Group’s production sites in Brazil, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, Japan, China and Italy, bringing the total number of sites equipped with photovoltaic systems to eleven and further strengthening De Nora’s commitment to the energy transition.

The project is part of the Group's Sustainability Plan and contributes to achieving the target of a 50% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions and the goal of 100% electricity from renewable sources by 2030, aimed at reducing its carbon footprint. In 2024, energy from renewable sources accounted for 29% of total consumption, a sharp increase from 3% in 2023.

Paolo Dellachà, De Nora’s CEO, commented: "Our sustainability journey continues with determination, thanks to the constant commitment of our management and the active contribution of all international production sites. Decarbonization and renewable energy strategies not only meet environmental objectives but also represent a strategic lever for increasing operational efficiency, reducing supply chain risks, and creating long-term economic value, while generating a positive impact on the environment."
