ENGIE Spain and Kao Corporation SAU have signed an agreement for the construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance for 15 years of a new thermal power generation plant from biomass from certified forest waste, ensuring the sustainable management of forests, in the plant of the chemical company located in Olesa de Montserrat, Barcelona. This new facility will allow a 95% reduction in the natural gas consumption of the factory, and thus the carbon footprint.
The new biomass plant will be used for self-consumption and as a thermal energy generation equipment whose primary source, forest biomass, is 100% renewable and neutral in CO2 emissions. This technology will replace a series of conventional boilers, whose primary energy source is natural gas.
