en.Wedoany.com Reported - French building materials company Vicat has announced an investment of €7.5 million to electrify the production equipment at its plant in Xeuilley, Meurthe-et-Moselle. The project is based on technology from Noc Energy, a startup supported by the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), which uses electricity-generated heat to replace coal for preheating materials in the crusher. The company stated that this transformation will reduce the plant's carbon dioxide emissions by 12,000 tons per year, a decrease of 80%. The project is scheduled to be operational by 2028, at which point the plant's energy demand will increase from 13 MW to 28 MW. Additionally, the electrification of the clay firing process is planned for 2031.
