TotalEnergies to supply heat to the urban network of Le Havre Sud
TotalEnergies and the Le Havre Seine Métropole Urban Community are joining forces to supply heat to the urban network of Le Havre Sud. The residual heat recovered from the installations of the Normandy Platform of TotalEnergies will replace the heat currently produced by the combustion of gas. It will supply the equivalent of 12,000 homes in Le Havre and avoid the emission of 16,000 tonnes of CO 2 per year.
By 2025, the Le Havre Seine Métropole Urban Community intends to extend its heating network from 12 to 60 km of pipes, in order to significantly increase the number of beneficiaries with access to cleaner and cheaper energy.
To do this, the project provides for the connection of the Normandy platform of TotalEnergies to the network operated by ResOcéane (Groupement Dalkia / CRAM) on behalf of the Urban Community. This network will now use 80% heat of renewable origin or recovered industrial heat.
With the commissioning of this unprecedented project in the region, the equivalent of 80 GWh of heat produced by the industrial processes of the platform will be captured and recovered, thus actively participating in the decarbonization and energy savings of the territory.
“ I am delighted with the commitment of TotalEnergies, a leading industrial player in our region, in this great project to extend the urban heating network. The energy recovered from the Normandy Platform will supply a network that will provide, by 2025, heat at controlled cost to many Le Havre and public buildings. This represents a total of 37,000 housing equivalents, which is considerable! explained Édouard Philippe, Mayor of Le Havre, President of the Le Havre Seine Métropole Urban Community.
“ It is the perfect demonstration that innovation, efficiency and circularity can be put at the service of decarbonization. We are delighted to be involved alongside the urban community of Le Havre in this ambitious and concrete energy saving project. It is part of our desire to strengthen the integration of our industrial activities into the local ecosystem. The project also responds to TotalEnergies’ objective of committing to ever more accessible energy, which places the reduction of CO 2 emissions at the heart of its projects ”, declared Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TotalEnergies .
” By recovering waste industrial heat, this exemplary project is part of a circular economy approach and, thanks to the expertise of the Dalkia group, provides a concrete solution to meet the desire of the Metropolis, accelerate its energy transition and fight against fuel poverty. At a time when the climate challenge concerns us all, I deeply believe in the effectiveness of such local cooperation to reduce our CO2 emissions and preserve purchasing power “, said Sylvie Jéhanno , Chairman and CEO of Dalkia .
