Innovating and uncovering new sources of value

The PLAINÉNERGIE partners have successfully completed the 1st phase of the program. CCPA, SMPIPA, GRTgaz, Séché Environnement and Enosis are now embarking on the 2nd phase. This involves coupling a pyrogasification and biological methanation process, on a semi-industrial scale, in order to validate the quality of the gas produced from solid waste from the Plaine de l'Ain region (end-of-life wood, bulky waste from waste collection centers, waste from economic activities, etc.) that is difficult to recover through conventional channels. The aim of this partnership is to confirm the interest of this waste treatment solution, leading to the local production of renewable, low-carbon gas. In this way, the PLAINÉNERGIE program is contributing to the challenges of energy transition and the circular economy in local areas.

This innovation comes as good news for the environment, since producing regenerated bromine from waste emits 20 times less CO2 on average than extracting virgin bromine

As a specialist in managing the most complex types of waste, including industrial gases, Séché Environnement is strengthening its unique expertise in Europe by creating a dedicated treatment facility for specialty gases at the Trédi site in Saint-Vulbas, France. This development builds on the greenhouse gas treatment activities that the Group has been leading since 2000 and reflects the Group's aim of promoting the circular economy and protecting the environment.

Le 27 avril, se tenait le sommet 2021 des entreprises de croissance. À cette occasion la stratégie d’innovation du Groupe dans le domaine de l’économie circulaire et de la production d’énergie à partir des déchets a été saluée par le prix Greentech & Énergies.

Acteur historique de la gestion des déchets, Séché Environnement poursuit son développement dans les métiers de l’économie circulaire et de la décarbonation. Grâce à ses activités au service de l’environnement, le Groupe participe à la préservation des ressources naturelles, du climat et de la biodiversité, tout en créant de la valeur pour ses clients privés et publics. Tour d’horizon de notre rapport intégré 2021.

Thursday, October 5, in the presence of many political and economic actors, as well as employees of the Changé site, Joël Séché was proud to inaugurate the first French thermal power station dedicated to the enhancement of SRFs for the production and distribution of heat across a metropolitan area. Since this fall, the City of Laval possesses the very first network powered by fuels produced from previously non-recyclable waste. Nearly 6,400 homes will be supplied with heating. Based on an exemplary approach, this new technology is a response to the objectives set by the Energy Transition for Green Growth Act (ETGGA). It is also a new step in the development model advocated by Séché Environnement since its foundation: providing territories with the necessary tools and solutions to participate in a Circular Economy dynamic while optimizing the use of resources.
