Agro-industrial group Lesaffre has inaugurated a waste heat recovery unit at its historic site in Marcq-en-Barœul, using thermal energy generated during the yeast fermentation process. Designed, financed and operated by ENGIE Solutions under a fifteen-year contract, the facility relies on two industrial heat pumps with a total thermal output of 19 megawatts. This system now covers 70% of the thermal energy requirements of the Société Industrielle Lesaffre site.
