Green Energy Project

The genesis of the Green Energy project

In Sully-sur-Loire (Loiret), Swiss Krono France, a manufacturer of wood-based products, has identified a triple challenge:

Reducing dust emissions, in line with European regulations (BREF)
Reduction of its energy consumption
Its active participation in the decarbonisation of the industry

The company aims to increase its production capacity for Oriented Strand Board (OSB), a key material in the development of wood construction. In this context, Swiss Krono France has joined forces with Dalkia, a specialist in energy performance for low-carbon industry, and Meridiam, a leader in biomethane production and biomass energy recovery, to decarbonise its plant.

Green Energy in 3 min krono

The Green Energy project is a decarbonisation programme through industrial and energy transformation carried out in Sully-sur-Loire by Swiss Krono France, Dalkia in the Centre-Ouest region and Meridiam.

In a true spirit of sustainability and circularity, the project aims to install two new dryers on the Swiss Krono France factory site, powered by a biomass unit and a smoke condenser, to improve productivity.

35,000 t of fossil CO2 avoided per year thanks to the biomass unit
5% to 10% reduction in energy requirements thanks to the low temperature dryers
Between 80% and 95% of the gas consumed by the site replaced by biomass
>100 M€ of investment
