The Belgian company UCB develops and produces medicines for neurological or immunological disorders. By 2030 UCB wants to do this in a carbon-neutral way. The company drew up a detailed action plan for this purpose.<\/p>\n
As part of a 35% energy saving target by 2030, we installed an 800 kilowatt CHP on the roof of the UCB site in Braine-l’Alleud. It provides heat and electricity for the buildings and production processes, but can also be used flexibly to support the power grid. When this happens at a time of low heat demand, the excess heat is stored in a 30-cubic metre buffer tank for later use.<\/p>\n
The plant achieves an overall efficiency of more than 90%. This corresponds to 39% less CO2 emissions compared to separate heat and power production.<\/p>\n
“UCB’s strategic ambition when it comes to greenhouse gases is to be carbon neutral by 2030. Luminus Solutions helped us install a CHP system that produces electricity locally and recovers heat. In this way, we are increasing our energy efficiency and reducing our CO2 emissions.” (Eric Browaeys, Site Director Belgium, UCB)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
