This time-lapse video by the ICaRE4Farms project partner AC3A shows the construction and installation of the new generation solar thermal power plant at the farm ‘EARL du Boulay’ in St-Georges-du-Rosay (France) to generate hot water for animal feed.
This solar thermal power plant is a system patented by Fengtech, a company based in Mayenne. The technology on this specific site enables the farm to save 5 tonnes of propane per year, ie. a saving of 70%, as well as a reduction of 15 tonnes CO2 of per year. Over 5 months it has already saved 2,5 T of propane, so we are on track. (the farmer has confirmed this) Scientific instrumentation and breeder’s invoices will confirm it precisely after a year of use.
