Terreal chooses Charwood Energy to source green gas and reduce its carbon impact

Terreal, a major European player in clay building materials, and Charwood Energy (ISIN: FR001400AJ60, ticker: ALCWE), a French specialist in customised biomass energy solutions, announce they have signed a memorandum of understanding for supplying syngas (synthesis gas) to Terreal.

Terreal develops innovative solutions for the construction industry through four core businesses: roofing, solar, structure, and facade decoration. The Group’s annual revenue is 699 million euros, and it has 3,450 employees worldwide.

Terreal uses natural gas to manufacture its products (clay firing at around 1,000°C), operating 24 hours a day, 340 days a year.

Terreal is committed to a roadmap aimed at cutting its carbon emissions by 30% by 2030. In addition to prioritising actions on energy efficiency, Terreal aims to replace the use of natural gas with alternative energies.

Terreal has signed a memorandum of understanding with Charwood Energy for the development of a syngas production plant at its manufacturing site in Colomiers, France. This project aims to replace a significant portion of the natural gas used by the site with decarbonised syngas from biomass.

Olivier Butel, Terreal’s Industrial Director, stated: “This development, launched with the support and expertise of Charwood Energy, is fundamental to reducing the carbon footprint of our products. With Charwood Energy we are opening up a path to decarbonisation that we intend to roll out across the Group.”

Adrien Haller, CEO and founder of Charwood Energy added: “We are very proud to support Terreal in reducing its carbon footprint by replacing a portion of its fossil natural gas consumption with renewable gas.  This partnership illustrates Terreal’s desire, alongside many other industrial players, to actively participate in the decarbonisation of our economies and thus meet the challenges of global warming.”
