Transform the constraint of energy efficiency and the reduction of its consumption into an opportunity to step up the ecological transition and the fight against climate change, but also enhance our Group’s performance.
The French government has launched an energy plan aimed at reducing France’s energy consumption by 10% within two years compared to 2019. The plan concerns all of society’s stakeholders: businesses, government agencies, local authorities and each citizen. For Orano, which had already implemented an energy action plan, it is time to accelerate its roadmap focusing on energy efficiency. This concerns all of the Group’s industrial and office locations in France.
target reduction in our energy consumption by 2025 vs 2019 in proportion to production
Reduction
Reducing our energy consumption requires a profound overhaul of our habits and the way we produce and consume. It invites us to consume less and produce better by using our production equipment more efficiently.
At Orano, the upgrade of the industrial fleet combines safety, competitiveness and the reduction of our environmental footprint. Since 2004, through various upgrading programs, we have reduced our electricity consumption by over 80%, our greenhouse gas emissions (Scopes 1 and 2) by 60% and our water consumption by 50%. We will apply the same principles to our future plants.
