- In the metallurgy sector in France, Aluminium Dunkerque awarded VINCI Energies contracts for a series of design studies and improvements relating to waste energy recovery, an energy performance contract with a 60% energy savings target, and a maintenance contract for the site’s new facilities.
- In the semiconductor industry in Italy, three business units in the Actemium network performed the integration of high-current equipment for STMicroelectronics in Catania (Sicily), in a new plant building that houses 3,000 sq. metres of clean rooms, following a similar operation at STMicroelectronics’s French site in Crolles (Isère).
- In the biochemicals sector in Germany, UPM Biochemicals awarded VINCI Energies a comprehensive maintenance contract for the installations at its new biorefinery at the InfraLeuna GmbH site in Saxony-Anhalt, which will convert wood into new-generation biochemicals.
- In the petrochemical industry, to support Shell Deutschland’s energy transition at its refinery in Wesseling (North Rhine-Westphalia), Actemium was tasked with a turnkey project to deliver a substation to power a new 100 MW electrolyser for hydrogen production.
- In the industrial minerals sector, Actemium is overseeing the worldwide implementation of a manufacturing execution system for the Sibelco group, which operates in 30 countries, taking into account each site’s specific needs. The system’s real-time dashboards use automatically captured data to monitor production yields and energy consumption, and to help detect breakdowns and downtime.
- In logistics, Actemium designed and set up automated fresh produce sorters for two E.Leclerc distribution centres in the Sarthe and Allier departments. In addition, Actemium teamed up with Renault Trucks and Jacky Perrenot, a transport company that works for supermarket and hyper-market chains, to develop an innovative in-city delivery solution that uses mobile containers instead of traditional pallets and is combined with an automated truck loading and unloading system.
- In industrial processes associated with renewable energies, Actemium took part in the pilot phase of the Deep Purple project in the North Sea’s Norwegian waters, aimed at using excess wind energy to produce hydrogen by electrolysis and storing it on the seabed for future use; Actemium also delivered the works packages covering electrical wiring and instrumentation.
- In the port sector, Actemium has installed onshore power supplies across a number of ports, enabling ships to switch off their combustion engines while berthed, thus reducing their carbon footprint. The ports of Le Havre (Seine-Maritime) in France (Haropa Port), Rotterdam (Vlaardingen DFDS terminal) in the Netherlands, Hamburg (Hadag ferry company) in Germany, and Barcelona and Bilbao in Spain, have all been fitted out, bringing the number of equipped ports to around 30 worldwide. Actemium is also converting ships to hybrid or all-electric propulsion (the Polarfront polar expedition yacht in Norway and river sightseeing boats for Les Vedettes de Paris in France).
- In oil and gas, Actemium’s business units signed multi-year contracts with Petrobras for the provision of maintenance and shutdown services on onshore and offshore production facilities in Brazil. They also won new contracts with ADNOC, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (fire protection systems for a plant on the island of Das), and TotalEnergies in the Republic of the Congo (transitioning the boilers at the Djéno terminal from fuel oil to gas).
1 Actemium converted the Paris Trocadéro riverboat to all-electric power for Les Vedettes de Paris.In all, three boats of this type were converted in 2024.
2 Actemium’s business units also support their customers by developing digital solutions to optimise data flows and integrate novel solutions enhancing automation, traceability, cybersecurity and predictive maintenance.
