Cutting CO2 emissions

Ideal Standard ran a pilot project at its manufacturing plant in Germany. Veolia’s procurement site management teams offered Ideal Standard assistance at the initial concept stage, whilst providing valuable advice throughout the design and installation process for the new CHPs. 

The production plant, which has to meet strict environmental policies, required an innovative solution to deliver its electricity and heat requirements. Veolia designed and installed the CHPs to reduce CO2 emissions, providing a long-term solution.

The CHP system generates electricity and heat for specific industrial and manufacturing processes from a single fuel source and is said to be more than twice as efficient as conventional power stations. Its advanced technology enables consistent and stable electricity and hot water supply at Ideal Standard’s manufacturing site. 

The contract also includes a five-year service and maintenance contract, which will be implemented by Veolia’s specialist packaged CHP team, Cogenco, based in France.
