Yokoumi Cooperative funded by the Hauts-de-France region
Decarbonize the shea industry
Togo, Kelezio
Aristide tells you about it:
Assembling this multi-partner project, funded by public funds, was a real challenge for me. It is a first for Terravolt in West Africa. This hybrid solar/biomass project, currently being implemented over two years, is a key milestone in our development. The first phase, focused on solar power, will be completed in April 2025, providing initial access to electricity. This project opens promising prospects for the development of sustainable agricultural sectors and helps strengthen the cooperative’s energy autonomy.

Creation of a biomass heating plant powered by corncob at Limagrain
Loire-Authion (49), France
Aurélien tells you about it :
Only 2.5 years passed between the initial study and the commissioning phase of the installations, which is relatively uncommon for projects of this type and scale, and it demonstrates the determination and efficiency of all stakeholders in ensuring the project’s success. The selected companies were chosen not only on financial grounds but also because they are recognized firms with an ongoing, trusted relationship with the client. This contributed to the project’s success and its smooth execution with committed stakeholders.

Patrice tells you about it :
Since the beginning of January 2024, I have been thriving in my role as an HSSE officer on the construction site. It took some time to adapt to the climatic conditions (rainy and dry seasons). My daily professionalism with external companies allowed me to build a relationship of trust, which is also shared by EDF PEI. I was able to apply my HSE expertise according to the various situations encountered on site. Together with the client, we decided to extend this great adventure throughout 2025.

Ellande tells you about it:
Working on the Utopia of the Seas has been a challenge and a milestone that will mark my career. Due to its scale and technical complexity, this ship is exceptional in every aspect. Managing to meet the delivery deadlines and receiving unrestricted approval from the Coast Guards and certification bodies—thanks to the dedication and professionalism of everyone involved and daily commitment—is a true source of pride.

Baulon Town Hall
Construction of a wood pellet boiler room and a heating network
Baulon (35), France
Guillaume tells you about it :
Working on this innovative project was truly a privilege. Since its commissioning, the wood pellet installation has brought complete satisfaction to the project owner. The cascading system of the two wood boilers allows for optimal power modulation to meet the heating demands of the connected buildings throughout the heating season. The boiler room, autonomously operated by the municipality’s technical department, supplies two renewable energy networks. This is a first in France.

Taking part in the restoration of a piece of history like the Monge is always a source of pride. As a former sailor in the French Navy, it’s somewhat of a return to my roots.
