Veolia has forged a 25-year strategic partnership with SYTTOM 19 for a public service delegation involving the construction and management of a new waste-to-energy plant in Saint-Pantaléon-de-Larche, France. The €440 million ($474 million) project is in line with the region’s goals to reduce residual waste and boost energy autonomy, according to Veolia.
With a treatment capacity of 79,200 tonnes of non-recyclable household waste per year, the high-performance plant will save almost 40,000 tonnes of carbon emissions per year due to the production of 41,000 megawatt-hours of electricity.
The waste-to-energy plant will use artificial intelligence (AI) to make the site’s operations more efficient. AI will be used for all the site’s operating methods, such as managing the quantity of waste in the pit, for the high-efficiency boiler or energy recovery from condensed steam. It also will incorporate innovative technologies to limit environmental impact, such as dry fl
