Industrial process heating

Verdun, France

The solar thermal plant of Verdun will supply 8 GWh of decarbonized heat for the Lacto Serum factory nearby. With an area close to 15,000 m2, it became the largest solar thermal installation for industrial process heat in Europe, exceeding Issoudun’s plant, commissioned in 2021 by Savosolar, with a few hundreds m2.

This plant is the property of Newheat and Savosolar has been chosen to realize the full plant, including the solar station, as a turnkey project.
