Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited is pleased to announce that CARBOGEN AMCIS AG., a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical process development and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing company, has successfully commissioned a new ground-mounted photovoltaic system at its Neuland site in Switzerland. With this project, the company underscores its long-term commitment to sustainability and the expansion of renewable energy.
The new solar power plant, with a capacity of 1,200 kWp, comprises a total of 2,448 photovoltaic modules installed on an area of approximately 6,200 m² on the company's premises. This makes the plant one of the most efficient conventional ground-mounted systems in the Swiss Mittelland and brings its efficiency close to that of vertical alpine installations. Ground-mounted photovoltaic systems remain rare in Switzerland.
CARBOGEN AMCIS is one of the few companies to have built such a system on its own industrial site. In the future, the solar power generated will be used primarily for on-site consumption and will help to sustainably reduce the company's CO₂ emissions.
The project was carried out in collaboration with our energy and infrastructure partners IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel) and its subsidiary Planeco, which were responsible for the planning and implementation of the facility.
"With the commissioning of this photovoltaic system, we are making a targeted investment in a sustainable and future-oriented energy supply for our site. The project is an important milestone on our path to consistently implementing our environmental goals," says Stephan Fritschi, Chief Executive Officer of CARBOGEN AMCIS.
The official opening ceremony took place recently, following a three-month construction phase, in the presence of Government Councilor Dieter Egli, Head of the Department of Economic Affairs and Internal Affairs of the Canton of Aargau; Urs Wiederkehr, mayor of the municipality of Hunzenschwil; Florian Gautschi from the cantonal economic development agency, as well as representatives from IWB, Planeco, and the management team of CARBOGEN AMCIS.
The new facility is another building block in CARBOGEN AMCIS's sustainability strategy. The company aims to continuously improve its energy efficiency and steadily increase the share of renewable energy in its production processes.
