Biomass boiler No. 2 for Sofidel in French Frouard plant
Italian-based tissue manufacturer Sofidel Group has announced plans to construct its second biomass boiler at the Frouard plant in France. Construction will begin in the Autumn, with commissioning scheduled for 2025.
In Frouard, a biomass boiler has already been in operation for almost 10 years. When the second one is also at capacity, the two boilers together will produce 95% of the steam needed to heat the drying cylinders of the two paper machines.
The investment will allow the plant to reduce its CO2 emissions by 9,100 tons per year.
This choice is part of the multi-option strategy the Group adopts in the various countries in which it operates, adapting energy policies to the climate and regulatory context.
