Turnkey biomass handling facility
After more than 60 years of existence, the Gardanne Thermal Power Station moved with the times and is henceforth focusing on renewable energies.
It is under the protective wing of the Uniper group (ex E.ON) that the Provence 4 Biomass Project was born. To carry out this "major project", the latter chose RBL-REI, a subsidiary of the IWF Group regarding treatment, storage handling of biomass.
This is the largest cogeneration project ever carried out in France. Indeed, no less than 150 MW will be produced by phase 4 after conversion.
