“The waste heat emitted is equivalent to 100 nuclear reactors. To make use of it, we designed a disruptive technology in the form of a thermal battery that recovers lost heat.”
Jean-Emmanuel Faure,
Chairman, Water Horizon
With its ambition to cut carbon emissions by 30% by 2030, collaboration between waste heat producers and consumers represents a real opportunity for the La Rochelle area.
The La Rochelle Energy-from-Waste plant (UVE) is a treatment centre for waste from local authorities and industry.
Recovery of waste heat from the Bessières energy-from-waste plant (196,000 t/year of waste) to supply renewable cooling to the Serres de Bessières greenhouses (10 ha, 6,000 t of tomatoes/year). LH2C (Low Heat to Cold) technology: charging and discharging on the same site. A local circular economy between a waste heat producer and an agricultural cooling consumer. Financing: Water Horizon + ADEME.
World’s first industrial thermal battery commissioned (Sept 2025). Recovery of waste heat from the SETMI energy-from-waste plant (incinerator, 240,000 t/year of waste) transported to the Alex Jany swimming pool and ice rink complex. 2 thermal batteries of 1 MW. Financing: Water Horizon + European Commission (Innovation Fund €2.5M). Stakeholders: Toulouse Métropole, SETMI, European Commission.
