Using Blue Paper’s waste energy to heat neighbouring districts

Thanks to our collaboration with R-CUA, we are currently heating neighbouring districts, the Rhéna clinic, the Port du Rhin school and a number of industrial companies (Les Moulins Advens and SMA). This project is still in its early stages, and over the next few years we plan to increase the recovery of this heat, which Blue Paper cannot use, so that we can eventually heat 50,000 homes in Strasbourg. Blue Paper is the first industrial site in Strasbourg’s Port du Rhin to supply heat to the R-CUA district heating network. This project is fully in line with Blue Paper’s other investments in the development of green energy production and the circular economy. DNA article dated 01/07/2021 Press release
