Sénerval Strasbourg

By releasing the energy contained in the waste produced by people living in and around Strasbourg, we avoid more than 20,000 tons of CO₂ emissions each year. Sénerval represents a considerable asset in the fight against climate change.

The smoke released from the Sénerval chimney meets very strict environmental standards. Before being released, it undergoes a number of treatments to capture dust and the different pollutants generated when waste is incinerated. The composition of smoke is constantly monitored. Moreover, the water used by the factory undergoes preliminary treatment before it is sent to the Strasbourg wastewater treatment unit.

Both water and smoke are analyzed and measured, and the results are communicated with the regional environment service tasked with monitoring waste-to-energy units in the region.

We are involved in local environmental synergy cooperatives (CLES) that bring together businesses based in the port of Strasbourg, focusing on three priorities: competitiveness, reduced environmental impact and local roots. As such, we support local initiatives to promote recruitment, training and environmental protection, for example by cleaning the banks of the Rhine alongside employees of companies operating out of the port.

Everyone has the right to find their place in society and gain a sense of fulfilment in their lives. That is why we set up a partnership to maintain our green spaces with the Sonnenhof foundation, which supports vulnerable people and those living with cognitive disabilities.
