emissions reduction in the

ENGIE Solutions has chosen LACROIX, through its Environment
activity, as part of an ambitious project to develop and modernize
the urban heating network of Chalon-sur-Saône, in order to provide
connected and intelligent solutions that will first equip 250
substations.
Announced last November, the amendment concluded for a period of
10 years between Chalon-sur-Saône and ENGIE Solutions provides for
the cessation of gas cogeneration coupled with a low-temperature
passage of the network thanks to the modernization of the
production means. Chalon Energie heating network, which is one of
the most important in France, will also be renewed and extended,
representing a total of 11 km and 3,000 housing equivalents
served.
With an investment of 25 million euros by ENGIE Solutions, this
development will be based on an optimized use of local renewable
resources, including wood energy. The ambition is to reduce the
territory's gas consumption by more than 15% and avoid the emission
of nearly 30,000 tons of CO2 each year.
The first structural stage of this modernization, the
digitization of Chalon Energie network will be ensured by LACROIX
connected and intelligent equipment, SOFREL S4TH, initially
deployed in 250 substations, as well as through the tools necessary
for their supervision.
A consolidated position in smart heating
networks in France This
new contract for the Environment activity in smart heating networks
is proof that the solutions proposed by LACROIX (sensors, remote
management stations, supervision tools) to optimize the efficiency
of infrastructures through remote control are successful with the
operators. LACROIX's expertise in this field, supported by new
cyber-secure equipment designed and manufactured in France, allowed
for the achievement of a very positive growth (over 30% since 2020)
in this booming market. In Europe, where they cover only 10% of
heating needs, heating networks are now perceived as both an energy
efficiency solution and a way to leverage large pools of renewable
energy that are difficult to access or operate (wood energy, but
also geothermal energy, recovered heat, etc.). As such, heating
networks are an integral part of CO2 emission reduction policies in
France and Germany.
“We are very pleased with this renewed trust
granted to us by ENGIE Solutions, to whom LACROIX already supplies
equipment for, among others, the heating networks of the cities of
Rennes and Nantes, which are among the largest networks in France,"
says Ronald Vrancken, Executive General Manager of the Environment
Business. By providing the necessary technology for digitalization,
real-time monitoring of users' consumption and remote control,
LACROIX solutions guarantee better efficiency and thus contribute
to making heating networks more sustainable.”
