Regulatory News:
CARBONLOOP and HAFFNER ENERGY (Paris:ALHAF) today
announce the signing of a purchase order for the supply,
installation and commissioning by HAFFNER ENERGY of a SYNOCA® unit.
This equipment is designed to produce renewable gas by thermolysis
of biomass, for a CARBONLOOP customer site located in the Yvelines
(France). This project, developed, financed and operated by
CARBONLOOP, will enable the local production of "carbon negative"
energy. This first project is in line with the strategy of both
partners to decarbonize industry and heavy mobility.
This is the first order signed within the framework of the
Commercial Agreement signed in October 2021 between the two
companies. The equipment ordered includes a "Thermolyzer" Skid and
a "Reformer" Skid, the two skids together constituting a SYNOCA®
module. This module will produce Hypergaz® (renewable gas) up to
500 kW PCI, from biomass coming from woody co-products from
agricultural and forestry operations collected locally. This
process will also allow the production of approximately 400 tons of
biochar per year, which will be marketed for soil improvement and
compost enrichment. The entire system will contribute to
sequestering approximately 1,000 tons of CO2 equivalent per year,
certified by carbon credits. The renewable gas will be converted
into renewable electricity and heat, which will ensure the
self-consumption of the site, an innovative regenerative
agriculture pole being built in the Yvelines (France). This first
project for CARBONLOOP, which is expected to be commissioned in
mid-2023, will also be a laboratory for testing inputs and biochar
in order to be able to use agricultural and forestry residues that
are not used locally in a circular economy and short supply
chain.
In the current context of soaring energy prices, this project
allows the production of renewable gas at a competitive cost as a
substitute for natural gas, and fully meets the market's
expectations regarding the European Union's energy independence
(REPowerEU) and reduction of its carbon footprint. This evolution
accelerates the decarbonization offer of both companies around
renewable gas and expands with SYNOCA® the development potential of
HAFFNER ENERGY beyond the hydrogen production driven by the HYNOCA®
technology.
"CARBONLOOP is thrilled to be among HAFFNER ENERGY's first
customers. With the biomass thermolysis technology developed by
HAFFNER ENERGY, CARBOONLOOP is proud to offer the first energy
service that traps more carbon than it emits. Not only does it
allow the substitution of natural gas at a competitive price, but
it also contributes to accelerate the industries’ decarbonization
trajectory", says Claire Chastrusse, CEO of CARBONLOOP.
"We are delighted to implement our first renewable gas
production contract for our customer and long-term partner
CARBONLOOP. The rising cost of energy and the necessity for Europe
to reduce its energy dependence reinforce our business model based
on a complete and competitive solution, with on-demand production
of hydrogen, gas or electricity, without intermittency", concludes
Philippe Haffner, Chairman and CEO of HAFFNER ENERGY.
About Carbonloop A start-up launched in 2021, Carbonloop
offers an accelerated decarbonization service for industries and
heavy mobility, based on a process combining the production of
carbon-neutral energy from biomass residues and a local and
sustainable carbon sink, biochar. This innovative and fully
integrated energy solution (including project financing, biomass
supply, operation and management of services associated with
biochar and carbon certification) allows industrial companies
consuming natural gas or hydrogen to benefit from "carbon-negative"
energy and to meet their commitments to reduce greenhouse gases in
a practical and concrete way. With the aim to develop more than 200
projects in Europe by 2030, Carbonloop's ambition is to be able to
sequester more than 1 million tons of CO₂ equivalent per year by
then.
About Haffner Energy A listed and family company
co-founded and co-managed by Marc and Philippe Haffner and a player
in the energy transition for 30 years, Haffner Energy designs and
provides technologies and services enabling its customers to
produce green hydrogen, renewable gas replacing natural gas
combined with carbon capture through the co-production of biochar
through its Synoca® and Hynoca® processes, by thermolysis of
biomass. Those processes allow the production of hydrogen or
renewable gas at highly competitive cost, is carbon negative of 12
kg (net) of CO2 per kg of hydrogen produced, while depending very
little on the electricity grid and the cost of electricity. This
enables Haffner Energy to make a very rapid and agile contribution
to the strategic challenges of Europe's energy independence
combined with the acceleration of its decarbonization.
