Haffner Energy (ISIN code: FR0014007ND6 - Mnemonic: ALHAF)
today announces the launch of a new range of renewable gas
production equipment to accelerate the decarbonation of industry.
This new offer, which is both high-performance and virtuous, has
been developed by increasing the power of its SYNOCA® solution
tenfold, and significantly expands the industrial market that
Haffner Energy can address in the short term.
A new renewable gas offer that is competitive with natural
gas
Haffner Energy is launching a new range of economically
competitive and environmentally-friendly renewable gas production
equipment, based on the enhancement of its SYNOCA® renewable gas
production solution (HYPERGAS®). The new SYNOCA® range of HYPERGAS®
production equipment, now with a tenfold increase in power, makes
it possible to meet renewable gas requirements of 10 MW and more,
as a total or partial replacement for natural gas, by direct
connection to existing equipment without any significant
modification to the industrial customer's installations. An
intermediate 5 MW version will also be available.
A solution for decarbonizing gas now available to a large
number of industrial sites
In Europe, more than 14,000 sites consume fossil natural gas for
their industrial thermal process needs or to supply district
heating networks and cogenerate green electricity on demand. Most
of these sites face severe technical and economic constraints that
are hindering their decarbonation.
With the launch of this new offer, Haffner Energy is now giving
these players the opportunity to accelerate their decarbonation
without delay and without economic compromise.
Sustainability, sovereignty, cost control and predictability:
multiple benefits for manufacturers
The SYNOCA® modules enable connected sites to meet their
decarbonation targets and to secure their gas supply, by replacing
the purchase of natural gas with autonomous production of renewable
gas from locally sourced biomass. Industrial customers will see a
significant reduction in the volatility of their energy costs.
Biomass supply contracts are generally negotiated over multi-year
periods, ensuring stable primary energy costs, while the
international gas market is subject to major fluctuations.
Haffner Energy will use its 30 years' experience in energy from
biomass to help its customers set up and secure their biomass
supply plans.
Significant growth in the market that Haffner Energy can
address
In industrial markets, the need for solutions enabling
autonomous gas production has increased considerably since the
outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, followed by a sharp rise in
the cost of natural gas and its volatility. With a solution that is
now competitive with natural gas prices, Haffner Energy now has the
resources to meet these needs.
Like HYNOCA® (Hydrogen No Carbon) and SAFNOCA® (Sustainable
Aviation Fuel No Carbon) solutions, the new SYNOCA® (Syngaz no
Carbon) offer is based on biomass thermolysis technology, designed
and developed by Haffner Energy. Protected by 15 patent families,
this innovative technology enables the company to address
complementary market segments, opening up major new opportunities
in the short term.
"Haffner Energy is now in a position to address much more
effectively the massive market for decarbonizing natural
gas-consuming industries," says Philippe Haffner, Chairman and CEO
of Haffner Energy. "Many manufacturers have an urgent need to
control their energy costs while decarbonizing their processes.
Haffner Energy is delighted to provide them with a concrete and
rapid response, within the limits of its own industrial
capacities.”
On a societal level, a carbon-negative solution to bring
about the transition
Like HYNOCA® solution for producing renewable hydrogen, SYNOCA®,
when using sustainable biomass residues, can provide a solution
with a negative carbon footprint thanks to the biochar co-produced
during the thermolysis process. Biochar is an economically
recoverable agricultural amendment made up of over 85% biogenic
carbon extracted from the atmosphere by plants during the
photosynthesis phase. The capture and sequestration of this carbon
in the soil constitutes a carbon sink and thus a lever for
regeneration, far beyond the urgent need to offset industry's
carbon emissions.
In addition, the deployment of the new SYNOCA® offer in industry
is expected to bring benefits in terms of local job creation that
cannot be relocated, and virtuous short circuits for biomass
supply. Finally, it is a route to energy independence.
About Haffner Energy A listed family company co-founded
and co-directed by Marc and Philippe Haffner, and a key player in
the energy transition for 30 years, Haffner Energy designs and
supplies innovative decarbonation solutions for mobility, industry
and local authorities. Its HYNOCA®, SYNOCA® and SAFNOCA® solutions,
based on biomass thermolysis, a technology protected by 15 patent
families, enable customers to produce locally renewable hydrogen
and gas, as well as other green energies such as Sustainable
Aviation Fuel, while capturing carbon from the atmosphere through
the co-production of biochar. For further information:
