Hybridising Heat for Low-Carbon Plasterboard Production
/ industrial

Years : 2024
Scope : Gypsum Quarry & Manufacturing Plant Plasterboard Dryer Facility

Decarbonising thermal processes while securing operational reliability and cost control

As part of its net-zero strategy, this plasterboard manufacturer is seeking to reduce emissions from its drying process—traditionally reliant on natural gas—without compromising 24/7 production or financial sustainability.

Client needs

  • Reach net-zero by 2045, with -50% CO₂ by 2030 (vs. 2020)

  • Ensure continuous and reliable production

  • Maintain competitiveness despite rising energy costs

4 years payback
250K€/year flexibility revenues
3500 tCO2 saved/year
