Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Fonderie Pisano is seeking to reactivate its Fratte plant in Salerno, which has been inactive since its environmental authorization was suspended in March. To comply with Best Available Techniques (BAT) standards and address environmental concerns, the company has proposed a decarbonization plan that involves replacing dismantled coal-fired furnaces with electric induction furnaces and improving filtration systems. The company has submitted documentation to the Campania Region to obtain Integrated Environmental Authorization (AIA). CEO Ciro Pisano has indicated that while an existing electric furnace could initially operate at approximately 13% capacity, the goal is to facilitate a gradual return for 120 employees currently on standby. Management has urged regional authorities to accelerate the approval process, noting that the expiration of company subsidies in late October and prolonged uncertainty threaten the foundry’s survival. Additionally, the company has requested the reinstatement of Arpac air quality monitoring stations in the area. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-16: Fonderie Pisano seeks regional approval for green plant reconversion Fonderie Pisano has submitted green reconversion plans to the Campania Region, seeking authorization to restart its Salerno plant and avoid mass layoffs of 120 workers by late October. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fonderie-pisano-seeks-regional-approval-for-green-plant-reconversion ### 2026-08-24: Fonderie Pisano proposes decarbonization plan to resume production Fonderie Pisano seeks to reactivate its Fratte plant through a decarbonization project replacing coal furnaces with electric ones to meet environmental standards and protect local jobs. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/fonderie-pisano-proposes-decarbonization-plan-to-resume-production --- Cite as: Fonderie Pisano industrial decarbonization efforts.
