What if your own by‑products could power your operations? At Akiolis, a Tessenderlo Group Company, this milestone is now a reality. In St‑Langis‑lès‑Mortagne, France, Akiolis has inaugurated the first biomass cogeneration facility in the country powered by animal by‑products. What this means in practice: • Reducing fossil energy use by 80% • 29,000 tonnes of animal by‑products valorized locally • Around 800 truck journeys avoided every year • 9,300 MWh of renewable electricity generated annually and injected into the public grid “By transforming our animal by‑products into renewable energy for direct use in our industrial processes, while also injecting electricity back into the grid, we create a virtuous and sustainable cycle that strengthens our circular‑economy approach and our mission, Révélateur de valeur,” says Gilles Cogny, Managing Director of AKIOLIS. This is how we build for future generations at Tessenderlo Group. By valorizing every stream. By keeping resources in use. Because Every Molecule Counts.
