1995
The new power plant in Gardanne, France, goes into operation as the world’s largest CFB plant. In 2013, we receive the order to comprehensively upgrade the plant and convert it to biomass. By 2034, the plant will have a capacity of 150 MW with a base production of more than 7500 hours per year, which is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption (except for heating purposes) of 440 000 households. This investment reduces the carbon footprint by 600,000 tonnes per year.
