Project Overview
SPIE Building Solutions and SPIE Industrie completed an electrification project at ALK's Vandeuil plant in August 2025. The initiative aims to reduce CO2 emissions by 305 tons annually and improve energy performance.
Low-Carbon Transition
ALK, a Danish pharmaceutical company, is committed to reducing its CO2 emissions by 42% by 2030. Replacing gas-powered equipment with electric solutions is a key strategy in achieving this goal.
Technical Implementation
The project involved dismantling two gas boilers and installing three heat pumps with a total capacity of 1.2 MW. Additional modifications included new piping, an electrical station, and a small heat pump for domestic hot water.
Energy Optimization
SPIE conducted a study and proposed four scenarios to optimize energy consumption. The 'cascade' operation of the heat pumps allows for automatic power modulation based on actual site needs, enhancing efficiency.
