Context
As part of the Bas-Carbone Industrial Zone (ZIBAC) program «SYRIUS» (Synergic Industrial Regeneration of the South), PIICTO and Capénergies have undertaken a study to understand the evolution of the energy system in the industrial-portual territory of Fos, the Berre Estuary and the Gardanne Basin.
The objective: to have a consolidated view of consumption, production, and network capacities in order to feed decarbonization strategies and promote the emergence of local low-carbon energy projects.
DETAILED MISSIONS
In conjunction with E-Cube Strategy Consultants, We intervene on the following missions:
- Identifying the local potential for decarbonized electricity production: photovoltaics, wind power (offshore and onshore), hydropower and other sources under development;
- Identifying the local potential for decarbonized heat production: waste heat recovery in industry, biomass heating, CSR heating, geothermal energy, thermal energy from the sea;
- Identifying the local potential for the production of decarbonized gas: pyrogasification, hydrothermal gasification, methanization.
To this end, we have notably achieved:
- Interviews with 40 industrialists to analyze energy usage, needs, and potential;
- A detailed study of the recoverable deposits: waste, biomass, CSR, STEP sludge, crop residues, digestates…
- A quantification of the potential for renewable energy production by 2030, 2040, and 2050;
- A benchmark for emerging technologies for low-carbon energy production;
- The construction of prospective scenarios to guide future industrial and territorial decarbonization projects.
