The project is part of the corporate strategy to reduce carbon emissions and to achieve material industrial water savings. It involves the integration of a groundwater geothermal energy system (nappe) to heat the buildings while cooling the industrial processes.
This pilot project, initiated and funded by Stellantis, validated the potential of the geothermal energy system. Such system is currently considered for a future roll out in other assembly plants.
Géothermaq was involved in the initial phase of the project as a subcontractor to the main HVAC engineering firm. As part of a comprehensive study to draft the HVAC master plan, waste heat recovery and a geothermal energy system were selected for this project.
After the initial study demonstrated the viability of the geothermal solution, Géothermaq entered into a direct contract with the project owner to carry out the remaining work through to the facility’s commissioning.
