A new heating network to decarbonize industry

On July 9 in the French town of Salaise-sur-Sanne, just south of Lyon, Séché Environnement’s Trédi plant and the OSIRIS economic interest grouping of the Roussillon chemical platform inaugurated their new heating network, commissioned this year. Financially supported by ADEME, the French agency for ecological transition, this new facility is expected to supply a total of 600,000 tons of steam to manufacturers within the Roussillon chemical platform, representing half of their energy needs. This energy will limit fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions: Each year, 180,000 tons of CO2 will be avoided, the equivalent of the emissions of a city of 23,000 inhabitants.
