How better to celebrate our 30-year partnership with the Amiens methanization plant than to renew the contract that unites us with that city? This contract renewal was finalized on Wednesday, 8 January.

More than 100,000 tonnes of household wate, industrial biowaste, and green waste have now been transformed into electricity, heat, and approved-quality agricultural compost.

This contract represents a new stage in the process of improving the facility’s performance, with a double objective: a reduction in rejected solid and liquid waste, and further optimization of the waste-to-energy process.

To achieve these objectives and in anticipation of future changes, work will begin in 2020, at a cost of €20 million over three years, to add two new units: one dedicated to the preparation of solid recovered fuel (SRF), and the other to the treatment of biowaste.
