Filter the projects:
Production of low-carbon cements, by substituting clinker with other materials
Diverse circular economy studies, aiming at valorizing material flows locally
Development of a renewable heat network from biomass and fatal heat from local industries, connecting the urban and the industrial areas.
Development of local, renewables electricity loops, based on solar and wind energy, to bring local industries:
Developement of an assembly platform for offshore floating wind turbines
It will be used to deploy future offshore wind farms along the Atlantic seaboard. Located in Saint-Nazaire, on the industrial port site that was the birthplace of the Saint-Nazaire wind farm, it will mainly comprise a 780m quay, storage facilities for components on land and on the water, and a special pontoon for service vessels.
Restructuring the electricity network to increase the Loire Estuary electricity connection capacity by 1.15 GW, and thus support decarbonisation and the production of low-carbon energies.
Infrastructures for the distribution and delivery of renewable fuels for heavy-duty mobility (sea & river, air, rail, road) and associated land sites.
Hydrogen infrastructures for transport, import and export.
CCUS infrastructure development, for “hard to abate” CO2 industrial emissions in the extended Port hinterland.
Renovation works of the LNG terminal
E-kerozen production plant, coupled with green hydrogen production plant (200MW)
E-methanol production plant, coupled with green hydrogen production plant (250MW)
Pilote plant for biomethane production by pyrogasification
Pilote plant for biomethane production by hydrothermal gasification
Development of a e-fuel production industry in the Loire Estuary area.
Analyzing current and future needs of liquid and solid biomass for energy usage (heat, electricity) in Loire Estuary area.
Contributing to the development of a biomass industry in the Pays de la Loire Region.
Decarbonisation project at Cargill’s Saint Nazaire site: construction of a biomass production unit using sunflower seeds, and a biomass boiler to replace gas boilers.
Study the opportunity, scenarios and success factors of converting existing mobile means of the port logistics chain to low-carbon or decarbonised mobile means.
Develop an economic diversification strategy based on low-carbon industries
Idnetify and qualify test sites and turnkey sites for the establishment of low-carbon companies
