  • Biochar to regenerate soil health
    24 November 2023, by Philippe

    Pyrolysis conversion of unused biomass into biochar and bioenergy.
    Biochar application in soil stores carbon while improving soil health and productivity.
    The first of its kind plant is set up in Quebec: Phase 1: 10 kt/y of biochar by end 2024 Phase 2: ramp-up capacity up to 30 kt/y of biochar
    SUEZ has the ambition to sequester 800 ktCO2eq/y by 2035.

  • Energy Recovery at Toulouse
    21 May 2024, by Philippe

    Integrated planning across waste, energy and water sectors.
    Tomato production for a competitive price thanks to an innovative concept. Econotre, operated by SUEZ, uses the heat released by incineration of the waste to produce electricity. Low-temperature energy is also recovered to supply heat to greenhouses. The necessary proximity was made possible through integrated land planning.

  • Food waste recovery centers
    31 October 2025, by Philippe

    Deconditioning of organic waste before anaerobic digestion.
    Industrial sites for mass collection and deconditioning of food organic waste—i.e., separating organic matter from packaging: 80,000 tons/year received at Veolia’s six industrial sites in France: organic waste from supermarkets, catering services, and households. Around 30 partnered anaerobic digestion plants recover the “soup” of food waste to produce green energy and digestate used to enrich agricultural land.

  • A waste to resources industrial system
    24 November 2023, by Philippe

    A systemic approach to reduce landfilling, recycle materials, and produce energy.
    Municipal solid waste plant to valorize 80% of MSW by producing new raw materials, solid fuels and biomethane. Materials Balance: for 100,000 t/y of MSW Biomethane = 62 GWh/y New raw materials = 6,000 t/y Fertilising products = 12,000 t/y Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) = 150 GWh/y

  • Restaurant food waste recovery
    24 November 2023, by Philippe

    Reducing sanitary health risks, promoting waste to energy.
    Prevent restaurant food waste use as direct animal feed, through dedicated collection and treatment systems: Introduction of a dedicated collection system for restaurant food waste. Collection and pre-treatment of used food oils. Anaerobic digestion facility producing biogas for heat and power co-generation. Financial viability of the operations through: Waste collection tax; Sales of oil, electricity and heat.

  • Non-recyclable waste into green energy
    24 November 2023, by Philippe

    Heat and power production as an alternative to landfilling.
    The Sète waste-to-energy plant:
    55,000 t/y of non-recyclable waste processed in an 18.1 MW oscillating furnace to produce 15.7 GWh of electricity 23 GW of steam
