Energy Transition

The trusted Partner for production, storage and transportation of renewable and low carbon energy

Based on its solid experience in meeting the stringent requirements of the conventional energy sector, TROUVAY & CAUVIN is becoming a reliable and trustworthy supplier for the energy transition (renewable and low-carbon energy).

Be it for offshore wind farms, concentrated solar power plants, carbon capture projects, hydrogen production and distribution or biofuel plants… TROUVAY & CAUVIN is a key partner able to offer innovative, specific and cost-effective solutions for the supply of materials needed for the various new energy projects.

energy transition CSP

Concentrated Solar Power Plant (CSP)

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) are the ideal choice for many locations to harness the sun’s energy.

The CSP process is an innovative way to collect the sun’s energy for power generation operators.

Countries across the MENA region are looking to diversify their energy mix and reduce their carbon footprint, and CSP has been identified as the way forward.

TROUVAY & CAUVIN offers a portfolio of standard and customised products and solutions for the heat transfer fluid used in CSP plants.

energy transition biofuel

Bio fuel

In many developing countries, interest in biofuels is growing because they provide better access to clean liquid fuels while solving problems such as energy costs, energy security and global warming that are usually associated with fossil fuels. The most commonly used sources of biofuels are forestry residues and the conversion of agricultural residues. Therefore, biofuel plants are mainly established in agricultural countries that have permanent access to these residues.

As a leading supplier of pipes, valves and fittings (PVF) for energy and industrial customers, TROUVAY & CAUVIN has the expertise to meet the material requirements for any biofuel plant project.

energy transition offshore windfarm

Offshore wind farms

Wind farms make an important contribution to environmentally friendly energy supply worldwide and are considered one of the most economical of all renewable energies. Although offshore wind farms are smaller compared to oil or gas production platforms, the design and specification of the materials used in their construction are very similar.

Thanks to its vast experience in supplying structural steel material for offshore oil and gas projects, TROUVAY & CAUVIN has become one of the leading suppliers of structural steel material for the construction of offshore wind farms. TROUVAY & CAUVIN‘s large stock of structural steel, which meets all the strict requirements of offshore specifications, is also suitable for the construction of towers, monopiles, tri/tetrapods and jackets used in offshore wind farms.

energy transition hydrogen

Hydrogen production and distribution

Hydrogen is recognised as a clean energy source and is emerging as a low-carbon/carbon-free energy source. In its capacity as a reactive gas, hydrogen is the most versatile energy carrier that can be produced using green or conventional energy sources.

Transporting hydrogen via pipelines is similar to transporting natural gas, in which TROUVAY & CAUVIN has extensive experience. We offer cost-effective pipes, valves and fittings (PVF) solutions for the production, storage and transport of hydrogen that ensure safe, durable and efficient operation

Geothermal plant as a renewable energy source

Geothermal Power Plant

Geothermal energy is a type of clean, renewable energy that is generated miles below the earth’s surface and is virtually emission-free.

Every geothermal power plant requires a network of pipelines that connects the power plant to the production wells and can withstand high temperatures. These pipelines include thick thermal insulation, drains, vents, control valves and instrumentation.

TROUVAY & CAUVIN offers a wide range of piping, valves and fittings (PVF) for the entire plant, taking into account the requirements for corrosion-resistant materials. At the customer’s request, we can also supply prefabricated piping/pools offsite to facilitate and speed up the construction work.

Nuclear Energy

‘ITER’ (Latin for ‘The Way’), in the south of France, is the largest experimental fusion reactor in the world. TROUVAY & CAUVIN France is privileged to be among the suppliers selected to provide materials for this prestigious international research and engineering mega-project.

Since 2017, TROUVAY & CAUVIN France has been one of the main suppliers for this groundbreaking project in which 35 nations are working together to build the world’s largest “tokamak” or nuclear fusion reactor, designed to mimic the fusion processes of the sun to produce energy on Earth.

carbon capture

Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage

Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS) is an innovative area of renewable energy where CO2 emissions are captured to mitigate climate change. The captured carbon can then be used commercially. Alternatively, it can be stored underground to meet energy and industry targets for reducing carbon emissions.

The process involves three steps:

-CO2 capture

-CO2 transport

-CO2 storage

TROUVAY & CAUVIN has a range of products for every stage of the process. As a leading supplier of pipes, valves and fittings (PVF) to oil and gas companies, we are well positioned and qualified to provide competitive and technical support to EPC and end-user customers facing the challenge of global CO2 emission reduction through CO2 capture projects.

Hydropower generation

Hydropower

Hydropower is a clean, safe, reliable, controllable and cost-effective source of energy. Hydropower also has many non-power generation advantages and is therefore used by many countries.

TROUVAY & CAUVIN has been involved in several dams, water supply, storage and water treatment projects in various locations around the world and therefore has the expertise to identify and supply competitive products suitable for dams and hydropower plants.

Our Building, Water & Infrastructure division has a team of qualified professionals who can also help you select customised hydraulic valves and actuation solutions, which are an important part of any hydropower plant.

Biomass processing plant as a renewable energy source

Biomass / Energy from waste

The use of biomass/waste resources for power generation is gaining importance nowadays thanks to CO2-neutral power generation, availability of resources, base load capability and economic potential.

The demand for this energy source is growing especially in agricultural countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, followed by China, India, Germany, Thailand and Italy.

TROUVAY & CAUVIN, with its large network of regional offices, yards and logistics platforms, can meet the demand for this type of project and support customers with reliable and cost-effective solutions.

As a leading global supplier to the energy industry, TROUVAY & CAUVIN uses its expertise and extensive range of pipes, valves and fittings (PVF) to meet the needs of biomass power plant operators, consultants and contractors. In addition to supplying materials, we also offer our customers tailored value-added services in the areas of product planning, offsite prefabrication, installation, commissioning, maintenance and repair.
