PARIS, Sept 4 — The city of Paris plans to expand an urban cooling system that draws on water from the Seine river as it seeks to meet rising demand for air conditioning while curbing carbon emissions, its secretary general Raphaelle Nayral said.
It draws water from the Seine River for cooling power stations that pump cooled water through underground pipes to buildings that use it instead of individual air conditioning units, said Nayral, of the network operated by Paris Fraicheur, owned 85 per cent by French energy company Engie and 15 per cent by Paris transport operator RATP.
Plans are to develop the system in southern parts of the city, as well as extend it to hospitals, day care centres and retirement homes, she said. The aim is to triple the network to about 250 km by 2042.
