Energy recovery from waste

Electricity, heat and biogas generated through waste recovery are low-carbon energies that enable Séché Environnement customers – business and local authorities alike – to reduce their use of fossil fuels. For example, at Salaise-sur-Sanne, Trédi, a Séché Environnement subsidiary specialised in hazardous waste management, is able to supply some 600,000 tonnes of steam to manufacturers at the Roussillon chemicals platform, equal to half of their energy needs. This energy will be used to limit the use of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions to the tune of 180,000 tonnes of CO2 a year, equivalent to the emissions of a city of 23,000 inhabitants.

Maxime Séché, CEO of Séché Environnement “Right from its creation in 1985, Séché Environnement stood apart through its innovative and ambitious environmental strategies. The Group contributes directly to the protection of the environment and health by treating pollutants and greenhouse gases. The implementation of a decarbonisation strategy is entirely consistent with our previous commitments. Taking account of the specific characteristics of each of our industrial sites, the aim with the new plan is not simply to reduce our own emissions but to devise solutions to avoid the production of additional emissions by helping our customers to decarbonise, the common goal being to protect the most precious resource: our environment.”
