AkzoNobel installs energy efficient steam pipeline
The €15 million, two kilometer pipeline - which has taken a year to construct - will deliver steam to AkzoNobel's salt production facility in Hengelo. It will reduce the annual consumption of natural gas by 40 million m3, while resultant carbon dioxide emissions at the location will decrease by 72,000 tons annually.
"This new pipeline is a shining example of AkzoNobel's sustainability program, which will further reduce the carbon footprint of our already highly efficient low carbon combined heat and power plant," said Werner Fuhrmann, member of AkzoNobel's Executive Committee. "This offers the opportunity of growing the business without affecting the environmental footprint."
