Taken from the Lacq reservoir, the gas doesn't need to be transported, eliminating additional costs and carbon emissions. There are many advantages to producing energy locally.

Our strength is being able to incorporate locally produced energy - gas, power and steam - at a complex industrial facility that involves the regulation of different systems," Verbrugge said. "PEGAZE will produce enough to supply 50 percent of Lacq's power needs. Its subsequent sister project, PEGAZE 2, will bring the total power generated to 20 MW in early 2019. The first, PEGAZE 1, is scheduled to start in summer 2018, when three engines will be installed to deliver 12 megawatts (MW) of power. The project's code name, PEGAZE, is a French acronym for "producing power from surplus gas." It involves supplying an engine with gas recovered from the site, to produce both power and heat." "SOBEGI looked at several alternatives and opted for cogeneration. "We had to find a way to unlock the value of the surplus methane," Verbrugge added.

To optimize the economics, it was decided to stop purifying it to the level required by national commercial specifications." He said: "The methane produced can't be exported to the national network. L’Oréal researchers have proven exfoliating properties of the quinoa husk extract, and a green chemistry based extraction method has been developed by Chimex, a L'Oréal subsidiary which specialises in designing and developing eco-responsible processes.Īs part os L’Oreal’s own sustainability programme mentioned above, it aims for 100% of the group's products to offer environmental or social benefits by 2020.īy the end of 2014, 46% of the raw materials used by L'Oréal were already of renewable origin - a total of 1,400 ingredients from nearly 300 plant species in over 60 countries.To supply Arkema with its hydrogen sulfide (H 2S) feedstock, the gas extracted from the local subsurface has to be treated on an on-demand basis, to separate the H 2S from the methane.Įric Verbrugge, senior industrial development engineer for Total Développement Régional 3, is based at SOBEGI and responsible for attracting new investors. Quinoa husk contains saponins and polyphenols which make it an interesting renewable cosmetic ingredient. This latest partnership builds on this as quinoa husk was previously considered to be waste and therefore it wasn’t used so this new initiative gives a new opportunity for the cultivation of the plant. The support that will be provided will be for training local farmers on best agricultural practices, preventing erosion by planting native local legumes, bushes and herbaceous plants, and the transfer of scientific knowledge and expertise between L’Oréal and its local partners. With the partnership, L'Oréal is also providing three types of support for sustainable production of the quinoa real variety, which is a premium grade variety of quinoa appreciated for the large size of its grain. L’Oreal claims this partnership will provide long-term benefits to 250 quinoa growers and their families in the Uyuni and Potosi regions of Bolivia.

The Paris-headquartered firm has developed the sustainable sourcing project as part of its Sharing Beauty With All initiative, and has seen L’Oreal partner with three other companies in order to pool their expertise.Īndean Valley, a Bolivian company which works directly with quinoa growers Proinpa, a Bolivian foundation which promotes the conservation and responsible use of natural resources in Bolivia and EcoTerra, a responsible importer, have all teamed up with the beauty behemoth in this collaboration.
