Albioma will recycle household waste residues to produce electricity in the Bois-Rouge power plant, announced the energy company at the end of December.
Albioma received the green light from the Energy Regulatory Commission (CRE) last November 16 for the energy recovery of recovered solid fuel (CSR) from the multi-sector waste recovery center of the company Inovest (Suez) in Sainte-Suzanne. A specific boiler will be built on the Bois-Rouge site in order to burn, every year, nearly 70,000 tonnes of this high energy quality product. “This solution will be effective at the end of 2026 and will allow, beyond constituting a local resource, promoting the circular economy, to contribute to the energy autonomy of the territory, welcomes Albioma. Part of the multi-year energy program, the energy recovery of fuels from waste sorting had become a necessity, at a time when the landfill centers in Reunion are reaching saturation. » The group had been working on the project for several years, while CSR production has already started on the Sainte-Suzanne site.
