CO₂-Neutral Energy Supply for the Pharmaceutical Industry
Pharmaceutical industry | Switzerland
A Swiss pharmaceutical company modernized its central steam generation system with the aim of ensuring a fully CO₂-neutral energy supply at the site by sourcing renewable electricity.
Project Highlights
CO₂-neutral through renewable electricity
1,000 kg/h saturated steam at 12 bar
72 h BoB – process steam and space heating
Initial Situation
- Renewal of the central steam generation with the goal of a completely CO₂-neutral energy supply through renewable electricity.
- Coverage of various requirements: saturated steam for production processes, sterilization, and space heating.
