Business plan reinforced, Q3 revenue

10 May 2017

Plan de marche confirmé :

  • Progression du CA 9 mois : 2 895 K€
  • Lancement du test de production

Forbach, France, le 10 mai 2017 – La Française de l’Energie (Euronext : LFDE – ISIN: FR0013030152), leader de l’écologie industrielle à travers sa production d’énergie locale, confirme la tendance positive de son activité Gazonor sur le 3ème trimestre avec un chiffre d’affaires de 1 035 K€ portant le CA à 9 mois du Groupe à 2 895 K€.

Cette première génération de revenus issue uniquement de la revente du gaz capté dans les anciennes galeries minières des Hauts-de-France, devrait continuer au cours de l’année 2017. En effet depuis le 4 novembre 2016, la Française de l’Energie est éligible au tarif de rachat d’électricité verte, garanti pendant quinze ans. Les premiers moteurs permettant la conversion du gaz capté en électricité verte, seront installés d’ici la fin du mois sur quatre sites dans les Hauts-de-France. L’installation de ces derniers va assurer un revenu complémentaire significatif pour le Groupe dès le mois de juillet.

Chaque moteur à gaz installé produira autant d’électricité que 3 éoliennes. Ainsi, les 6 moteurs, d’une capacité totale de 9 MW, devraient à terme générer l’équivalent des besoins en électricité d’une ville de plus de 40 000 habitants. Le déploiement de cette activité d’électricité verte confirme le positionnement novateur de la Française de l’Energie en tant que producteur d’énergie propre et locale.

Lancement du test de production sur le site de Lachambre (Moselle)

Comme prévu, LFDE a finalisé fin avril son 1er site de récupération à Lachambre en Lorraine où 7 couches de charbon ont été identifiées avec une teneur moyenne en gaz de 10 m3, nettement supérieure aux prévisions.

Conformément à son plan de marche, LFDE lance actuellement le test de production. Cette opération qui se déroule sur plus de 3 mois devrait permettre à LFDE de débuter le captage du gaz issu de ce 1er site de récupération durant l’été 2017 et confirmer les teneurs en gaz constatées sur les échantillons.

La concrétisation de ce 1er site de récupération de gaz respectant les meilleures normes européennes démontre la capacité de LFDE à fournir une énergie plus propre, compétitive et made in France.

Aucun élément significatif n’est venu modifier la situation financière du Groupe qui demeure solide au 31 mars 2017.

Fort de ces réalisations, La Française de l’Energie renforce son positionnement d’opérateur de référence de l’écologie industrielle et confirme l’amélioration de sa rentabilité opérationnelle dès juillet 2017.

Promises won't impact
climate change.
Your local resources, will.

Climate change is an undeniable reality. We can already see its serious consequences for our planet. It is now urgent to act.

At FDE, we refuse to participate in initiatives that generate pollution beyond our borders, even if they reduce the carbon footprint of our local territories. Whether it is a question of carbon footprint or pollution, there are no limits.

It is our duty to build sustainable energy solutions that move towards global carbon neutrality. Today, the most resilient and sustainable energy solution is even more self-evident: it is imperative that energy remains local, within short supply chains, as close as possible to the needs of local communities and consumers.

Considering these, at FDE, we are taking actions and offering tailor-made, local multi-energy solutions.

By making the most of local resources, our offer enables us to provide territories with energies with a triple benefit: reduced carbon footprint, economically competitive and contributing to the socio-economic development of the area. We choose abandoned sites, make the most of the potential of local suppliers and service providers, and participate in a local center of expertise that involves universities, local authorities and associations in the local energy project.

FDE lacks neither the resources nor the know-how to deploy tailor-made energy solutions for everyone and for the planet.

Our engineers embrace the energy transition with a pragmatic view.

Recovering abandoned mine gas avoids fatal gas emissions into the atmosphere, while local coal gas reduces the need to import much more carbon-intensive gases. Abundant solar energy is both local and renewable.

To support the energy transition, at FDE, we are constantly innovating, looking for new solutions for the future, such as hydrogen, a decarbonized energy, or CO2 sequestration in coal.

In addition, all energy produced by our Group is designed to be more virtuous. All these processes therefore make FDE the only French energy producer with a negative carbon footprint.

HSE POLICY

In accordance with its values and code of ethics, and with the aim of pursuing the objective of:

  • Guarantee the integrity of our assets,
  • Ensure a safe and healthy working environment for its employees and subcontractors,
  • Guarantee the health and safety of all personnel working on and off-site,
  • Limit environmental impact.

 

FDE wishes to promote the following HSE principles:

Identify, prevent and control impacts and risks to health, safety, security and the environment,

Develop the company's activities in a sustainable and eco-responsible manner,

Improve the working environment for its employees and subcontractors.

Consequently, FDE undertakes to:

Ensure the rigorous application of regulatory procedures in force with respect to safety, health, environment and the preservation of public security,

Impose operational management with advanced criteria for environmental protection, pollution prevention and energy optimization, as part of the ecological transition,

Systematically verify compliance with HSE principles through audits and practical exercises, with the aim of continuously improving the system and its performance,

Define indices and performance indicators for monitoring HSE activities and promote benchmarking to identify areas for improvement,

Encourage employee participation and involvement in health, safety and environmental protection processes through training and creation of tools for sharing experience and knowledge.

This culture of risk prevention and control applies to all employees, partners and suppliers. It involves setting concrete objectives and deploying action plans as part of a continuous improvement process to better anticipate tomorrow's challenges. This policy is reviewed annually, as are the associated indicators and targets.
