SUEZ optimises energy recovery from waste in Toulouse!

Together with the Banque des Territoires and on behalf of the Syndicat Mixte Decoset, we are modernising the Bessières waste-to-energy plant and building a new plant in Toulouse to transform residual waste into energy for more than 1 million inhabitants!

This European reference project will integrate:

  • Optimisation of flows to maximise energy recovery
  • +50% electricity and +20% heat to cover 80% of the needs of the urban heating network
  • A reduction of 123,500 tonnes of CO2/year thanks to more efficient facilities
This performance will be enhanced with connected SUEZ tools, including: 

QualiWaste

AI and computer vision to improve waste sorting

ValoVisio

real-time control to optimise equipment availability

Qualisteo

monitoring and analysing consumption to adjust energy performance

With their optimised energy performance of 220 GWh of electricity and 360 GWh of heat, the 2 plants are setting new standards in terms of efficiency and decarbonisation.


With Bessières and Toulouse, SUEZ will be operating 31 waste-to-energy plants (UVE) in France by 2025, converting 3,500 tonnes of waste per year into renewable energy.

Designed to maximise energy recovery while reducing the environmental footprint, they embody a sustainable model serving the energy transition of territories.
