A sustainability island
for ESA-ESRIN

The pilot project in the Frascati ESA-ESRIN center

The ESA-ESRIN center of the European Space Agency hosts the innovative multidisciplinary project, that encompasses the installation and the realization of:

a new ICT infrastructure,
charging stations of electric vehicles
and a “SmartComp” for organic waste.

The objective of the collaboration is to significantly reduce the environmental impact of the structure and its staff by using electric mobility and organic waste treatment, with the implementation of innovative and customized management ICT services.

This project is a multidisciplinary undertaking, conceived and realized with 100% in-house expertise from Acea Innovation and Acea Infrastructure, and it places a significant emphasis on the circular economy.

The management system enables real-time monitoring of project progress and the performance of analyses based on a series of KPIs, with the objective of controlling operating costs and facilitating middle-long term strategic planning.

SmartComp: ESA-ESRIN key player in the waste transition

The ESA-ESRIN sustainability island has been designed in a local waste transition view thanks to the Global Service work of Acea Innovation.

SmartComp, the innovative compost bin, developed by Acea Infrastructure, can treat significant quantities of organic waste from the center's canteen, turning it into high-quality compost that can be used in fertilizing the site's green areas.
