This Wednesday, the Métropole de Lyon announced that it was abandoning its wood-fired boiler room project, which should have been installed in the Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon/Francheville sector to supply the Saône-Yzeron heat network. And which logically worried many residents.
The community explains that an industrialist based in Collonges-au-Mont-d’Or produces “a high potential for fatal heat” Who “will be able to feed” the network in place of the wood boiler room.
Waste heat, also known as waste heat, refers to heat produced by a process whose primary purpose is not energy production, and which is often wasted. The challenge is to capture this waste heat and transport it to promote its use as a thermal source. The sources of waste heat are varied, ranging from oven fumes to cooling equipment.
“The use of this recovery energy would make it possible to heat the majority of the new heating network, heating the equivalent of 25,000 homes, but also businesses and public facilities in the metropolis. Thanks to this progress, the inhabitants of the municipalities of Francheville, Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon, Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, Craponne and Lyon (5th and 9th arrondissements) will be able to heat themselves mainly via the waste heat produced by this industrialist. The use of this carbon-free energy will make it possible to avoid having to resort to the construction of a large wood boiler room in the municipalities of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon and Francheville.”welcomes the Metropolis of Lyon.
