Disneyland Paris Enhances Environmental Efforts with New Thermo-refrigerating Pump

Disneyland Paris has announced the installation of a thermo-refrigerating pump following the establishment of Europe's largest solar carport. This innovative measure is expected to significantly reduce the resort's carbon emissions.

Comprehensive Environmental Measures

For years, Disneyland Paris has pursued an ambitious strategy to reduce its environmental impact, focusing on emissions, water, waste, materials, and sustainable construction. A cornerstone of these efforts has been the construction of Europe's largest solar carport in collaboration with the Urbasolar Group. Operational since December 2023, the facility produces 36 GWh annually, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the Val d'Europe area by approximately 890 tons of CO2 each year.

Implementation of the Thermo-refrigerating Pump

The next step in the resort’s environmental strategy is the installation of a thermo-refrigerating pump, which will enable Disneyland Paris to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by an additional 9%. This pump will not only lower natural gas consumption but also optimize heating needs through more efficient use of natural gas and geothermal energy. Furthermore, it will decrease water consumption by saving around 30,000 cubic meters of recycled water annually.

Long-term Commitment to Environmental Protection

Disneyland Paris' efforts towards sustainable operation are part of The Walt Disney Company's broader environmental initiatives. The commitment to planet protection is deeply ingrained in the company’s philosophy, and the resort continuously develops new technologies and solutions to further minimize its environmental impact. This includes the use of geothermal energy, which already covers up to 18% of the heating demands for the park facilities.
