Energy loop in the Saint-Laurent industrial park
The energy loop project in the Ville Saint-Laurent industrial park aims to create a heat and power network by capitalizing on the concentration and diversity of industries on its territory. The aim is to involve key local companies in reducing energy losses and optimizing the use of renewable energies, in a circular economy approach.

Mobilizing economic players towards the energy transition
Development of an approach to identify and exploit the energy potential of the Saint-Laurent industrial park
In the global fight against climate change, municipalities play an essential role in supporting local initiatives and creating collaborative infrastructures. The borough of Saint-Laurent, home to over 4,400 businesses, represents a unique opportunity for large-scale energy transition.
This project, led by Excellence industrielle Saint-Laurent, aims to position the industrial park as a model of circular economy and urban resilience.
The borough’s Plan d’Urgence Climatique sets ambitious targets, including a 55% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030. This energy loop project is based on optimizing waste heat, electrifying uses and creating local heat networks. These initiatives aim to transform energy challenges into economic and environmental opportunities for local businesses.
