♻️ Suez and Tereos Launch Waste-Fired Heating Plant in France 🔥

Suez and Tereos have embarked on an exciting project in Northern France, marking the beginning of construction on a new waste-fired heating plant. Located in Origny-Sainte-Benoite, this plant will utilize solid recovered fuel (SRF) to produce steam, which will be used in Tereos’s sugar refinery and distillery. Key Highlights: Project Launch: The ceremonial laying of the foundation stone took place on September 5, 2024, with notable figures including Yves Rannou, COO Recycling & Recovery at Suez, and Olivier Leducq, CEO of Tereos, present at the event. Energy Efficiency: The new plant is expected to significantly reduce Tereos’s reliance on natural gas by 40% once it begins operation in 2027. Previous Collaboration: Suez has been supplying steam to another Tereos site in Lillebonne since 2015. This steam is generated by the Ecostu’Air waste-to-energy plant, which Suez operates on behalf of the regional waste association Sevede. Benefits and Goals: Sustainable Energy: The SRF plant aims to enhance sustainability by converting waste into valuable energy, thus reducing the environmental impact of the production process. Operational Efficiency: By using SRF to generate steam, Tereos will achieve significant cost savings and lower its carbon footprint, supporting its commitment to environmental stewardship.
