Despite some grey areas and a lot of toing and froing between the National Assembly and the Senate, the French law on energy transition to green growth will soon be finally adopted. It will impact in many ways on the ...
Sleeves, ensuring the energy efficiency of heating networks During the installation process of a district heating network, the pre-insulated steel tubes are connected in the trenches by welding. The junction between two pre-insulated pipes, materialized by welding, is consequently not ...
Limiting the pressure losses of a heating network is one of the technical features that can improve overall performance. A few weeks ago, we explained why and how heat loss must be combatted: loss of heat and power – i.e. ...
BREST – Built in 1988, the incineration plant for household waste is central to the development of a district heating network and energy savings in the city of Brest, France. This factory, which was originally called Spernot and has now ...
Gathering together all the stakeholders in the solar heating networks sector to become more effective: this is the objective of SOCOL (for collective solar), a French interprofessional initiative launched in 2009 by Enerplan, with the support of Ademe. The ...
The Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment first opened its doors on the 5th of June, 1972. Since then, the United Nations Development Programme initiative for Environment (UNEP) celebrates World Environment Day (WED) every year on June 5. The slogan ...
Biomass is a major source of green electricity production. But what exactly is biomass? The term encompasses a variety of organic materials, from wood chips to animal meal, used to produce electricity and heat. What are its benefits? What place ...
Heating bills contain some specific particularities, especially those produced by a heating network. The same thing holds true for the measurement of consumption. Following the French Decree No 2012-545 of 23 April 2012, heating costs in apartment buildings will now be ...
Cogeneration is the simultaneous production of electricity and heat in the same installation. The result of this technology – increasingly used in France (Le Havre, Seine-Maritime) and Europe (Scarlino, Italy) – is economic heating networks. How do we build a ...
At Soultz-sous-Forêts as in Maisons-Alfort in France, geothermal energy has established itself as a reliable, economical and durable source of heat generation. This technique of recovering heat from below ground level, is nevertheless still quite unknown to the general public. ...
