Low-carbon energy supply

Waste still contains large quantities of energy, which is why we tap into this source to supply you with heat, gas, electricity and new fuels as an effective way to preserve natural resources and combat climate change.

The essential

Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF), a substitute for fossil fuels

Heat networks, local low-carbon energy

Biogas, capturing and recovering greenhouse gas

benefit from a professional's expertise

We produce solid recovered fuel using non-hazardous, non-recyclable waste, selected for their high energy potential, such as:

  • items of household waste sent to but not accepted by recycling centers 
  • non-recyclable eco-furniture waste
  • carefully selected industrial waste

SRF come in the form of pellets, briquettes or bales. Their characteristics make them and ideal substitute to fossil fuels to cut your carbon footprint while powering your:

  • cementation, brick and tile furnaces
  • blast furnaces
  • lime kilns
  • industrial and urban heat network furnaces

Solid Recovered Fuels

Biogas from waste

Non-recyclable waste is sent to landfill sites designed in accordance with strict regulations to minimize their environmental impact. As the residual organic materials present in such waste decomposes, they naturally produce methane, a potent greenhouse gas. That is why our facilities are specially equipped with gas capture technology.

After treating the biogas recovered in this way, we convert it into different forms of energy, depending on local needs:

  • direct injection into the natural gas distribution network
  • powering industrial and urban heating network furnaces
  • electricity generation

We tap into the trapped energy contained in non-recyclable waste by incinerating it. The energy is then harnessed by circulating water through furnaces before transporting the steam or hot water through a local heat network several miles to where it is needed.

Some of our facilities also generate heat using Solid Recovered Fuels and biogas from decomposing waste.

The Group

Séché Environnement embarks on its project to build a new low-carbon industrial heating system in Plaine de l'Ain

Séché Environnement annonce le lancement d’un ambitieux projet de réseau de chaleur industrielle pour les entreprises du Parc Industriel de la Plaine de l’Ain, permettant de produire 160 000 MWh de vapeur par an et d’éviter l’émission de 14 000 tonnes d’équivalent CO2. Cette démarche s’inscrit dans la stratégie de décarbonation de Séché Environnement, portant aussi bien sur la réduction des émissions du Groupe que sur l’augmentation des émissions évitées pour ses clients.

Laying of the foundation stone for Mo’UVE, the energy recovery unit in Montauban

Le 31 mars, Brigitte Barèges, Présidente du Sirtomad, le syndicat de traitement des déchets ménagers du Grand Montauban et de Terres des Confluences, a posé la première pierre de Mo’UVE, la future Unité de Valorisation Energétique du territoire, en présence de Joël Séché et de Maxime Séché, respectivement Président et Directeur général de Séché Environnement, et de nombreux élus et acteurs locaux.

Inauguration of the first SRF thermal power station developed in France

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.

In line with the Paris Agreement to combat climate change, our strategy seeks to reduce our emissions by 25% by 2030 and increase the volume of emissions avoided by our clients by 40% by 2025. 

Our climate strategy

Reasons to place your trust in us

A partner helping you bring about your environmental transition

As specialists in the circular economy, we develop many solutions to reduce the environmental impact of waste. For example, we sort recyclable materials, produce low-carbon energy, and safely store waste. As part of efforts to combat climate change, we have pledged to cut our clients’ carbon emissions (target: 40% increase in emissions avoided between 2022 and 2025).

Safety above all else

Our specialist facilities have all the necessary certifications and authorizations, and our teams are specially trained in safety and how to properly use the protective equipment they require.

Commitment to biodiversity

At Séché Environnement, biodiversity plays an integral role in our business model. The Group has its own team of ecologists and biodiversity ambassadors who roll out initiatives on the ground within and around our industrial facilities. Whether it is by protecting species, renaturing ecosystems, or raising awareness among stakeholders, we factor in biodiversity and take local priorities into consideration before undertaking all projects.
