AS SAMRA, JORDAN AS SAMRA: REUSING TREATED WASTEWATER TOWARDS ENERGY AUTONOMY
CRÉTEIL, FRANCE THE CRÉTEIL WASTE-TO-ENERGY PLANT: CONTRIBUTING TO A COOPERATIVE CIRCULAR ECONOMY In December 2017, the Val-de-Marne urban mixed agency for waste treatment awarded the concession to upgrade and operate the Créteil waste-to-energy recovery unit to SUEZ, in partnership with TIRU, for a period of 20 years. The project aims to expand the unit's annual treatment capacity from 244,000 tonnes to 345,000 tonnes by 2023, in order to support the development of the Créteil heat network and to supply the municipalities in the Syndicate with renewable electricity.
