ADEME, Total to Enhance Energy Efficiency of Industrial Processes
Posted on: Thursday, 16 October 2008, 09:00 CDT
The French Environment and Energy Management Agency and Total have signed a memorandum of understanding concerning the management and financing of a joint R&D program to make industrial processes more energy efficient.
Under the agreement, small and mid-size businesses working on energy-efficient technologies will receive support, with the goal of helping France to meet the goals set at the Grenelle Environment Forum.
In particular, the program involves technologies for small cogeneration plants, heat exchangers, boilers, drying, fluid separation, low-temperature heat recovery, refrigeration systems, compressed air, ventilation, pumping, lighting, steam and heat transfer fluids. The technologies cover all industry sectors.
Total has announced plans to provide the program with E100 million in financing over five years, while the French Environment and Energy Management Agency (ADEME) will provide annual appropriations of approximately E3 million, to be defined on a yearly basis.
This joint project is in line with the partners' respective strategies. Total is looking for ways to quickly enhance the energy efficiency of its plants and, as part of its customer support policy, of customer facilities.
