SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT and Atal Engineering Ltd ("ATAL"), in partnership as part of a 60%-40% joint venture, have signed a new contract to design, build, and operate the first organic waste treatment centre in Hong Kong. Thanks to this new contract - worth a total of €246 million over 15 years - the SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT Group is strengthening its presence in China and is confirming its position at the forefront of the Hong Kong waste market with its subsidiary SITA
A new waste treatment and recovery centreThe new centre - which will be commissioned in mid-2017 - will treat 200 tonnes of foodwaste (separated at source from commercial and industrial waste) daily and will turn itinto biogas and compost, thanks to biological treatment processes like anaerobicdigestion and composting.
This cutting-edge facility will be fully compliant with Chineseand European standards, and will be operated by theGroup, with its partner ATAL, inaccordance with the most stringent security and environmental standards.
The treatment of 200 tonnes of waste per day will enable renewable energy tobe produced.
This new project shows SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT's involvement in developing a circulareconomy, particularly by recovering energy from waste.
The biogas produced by the treatment centre will be used as renewable energy.
Around14 million KWh of surplus electricity will be injected into the electrical grid as greenenergy.
By replacing fossil fuel electricity production in this way, this green energy willhelp reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25,000 tonnes per year.
