Focus on renewable energy potentials

Whether through photovoltaic or geothermal energy, we have studied the renewable energy potential of the Murmure project, in order to make reliable solutions that are energy and economically viable while seeking to limit the project’s carbon emissions. The Canadian well in a dense urban environment generates too high an investment cost for excavation and considering the risks of soil pollution, we will keep only the photovoltaic solution for the production of renewable energy.

Study of Canadian wells: principles and constraints 

Thus, we present below the studies that we have carried out upstream.

The project seemed particularly adapted to the implementation of a geothermal solution such as the Canadian well, since it goes to a depth of more than 10m, thus benefiting from the important thermal inertia of the earth’s mass, going in search of a sustainable and de-carbonated energy, that of the earth. The Canadian well complements the HVAC systems and allows to pre-heat or pre-cool the fresh air before injecting it into the project, thus reducing the need for heating in winter and cooling in summer. An outside air intake is required, as well as blower outlets.

This study was carried out in accordance with the “Climatic Well, Design and Sizing” Guide of March 2015 of the “Grenelle Environnement 2012” program.
