Anaerobic Digestion

In Southern Africa, the carrying capacity of agricultural waste, food production waste and wastewater, Veolia converts organic waste into renewable green gas energy.
Organic waste anaerobic digestion

Industrial activities generate large volumes of solid and liquid organic wastes

Anaerobic digestion provides a solution to treat these streams, recovering nutrient-rich fertilizer, reducing landfill reliance and water stress and producing green energy. 

Veolia develops and operates anaerobic digestion systems that convert organic matter into biogas, which can be reused on-site as an energy source.

 

Transforming organic waste
into energy

 

Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that breaks down organic matter in the absence of oxygen, producing biogas that can be used for heat or electricity generation.

Veolia’s solutions enable:

  • Treatment of industrial wastewater and organic waste
     
  • Production of biogas as a renewable energy source
     
  • Reduction of waste volumes and treatment costs
