**In South Africa, increasing waste volumes and pressure on landfill capacity are driving the need for more sustainable solutions.** Veolia develops waste-to-energy solutions, helping the region conserve fossil fuel, limit greenhouse carbon emissions and reducing volumes of waste in landfills. [Learn more](#learnmore) ## **Recovering energy** from waste in South Africa **At Veolia, we support various waste streams and accept all municipalities, industries and organic sectors and markets in the Southern African region.** Methacontrol®, an automated management system for biogas collection networks that Veolia has patented, is used to continuously modify the network's operation and conversion model. When compared to a manual adjustment method, this process greatly enhances the amount of biogas collected. ## **Efficient development** to converting waste into energy ![Codant-background](/sites/g/files/dvc3966/files/styles/crop_freeform/public/image/2026/03/Codant-background%20%281%29.png.webp?itok=fFdzJ74r) **Veolia implements waste treatment and recovery solutions adapted to local industrial needs.** Its activities in South Africa include: - **Treatment and recovery of hazardous and industrial waste** - **Biogas production from organic waste and sludge** - **Recovery of energy from waste treatment processes** These solutions help reduce the environmental impact of waste while contributing to resource recovery. ![Energy - icon](/sites/g/files/dvc3966/files/image/2026/04/Energy%20-%20Icon.png) ## **Energy recovery** from waste | ![Waste converted to energy](/sites/g/files/dvc3966/files/styles/crop_freeform/public/image/2026/04/Energy%20recovery%20from%20waste.jpg.webp?itok=FrRU0_gS) ## Learn more about **Energy recovery from waste** [Talk to an expert](/contact-us) ![Codant-background](/sites/g/files/dvc3966/files/styles/crop_freeform/public/image/2026/03/Codant-background%20%281%29.png.webp?itok=fFdzJ74r) **Explore** **our relevant solutions** [Discover our Energy solutions](/energy-solutions) **\#** [Waste to Energy](/energy-solutions/waste-to-energy "Waste to Energy in South Africa") **\#** [Combined Heat and Power Solutions](/energy-solutions/heat-and-power-systems "Combined Heat and Power Solutions South Africa") **\#** [Solar PV systems](/energy-solutions/solar-pv-systems "Solar PV Systems in South Africa") **\#** [Waste Heat Recovery & Valorisation](/energy-solutions/waste-heat-recovery-services "Waste Heat Recovery & Valorisation South Africa") **\#** [Fuel Switch Solutions](/energy-solutions/fuel-switch-solutions "Fuel Switch Solutions in South Africa") **\#** [Anaerobic Digestion](/energy-solutions/anaerobic-solutions "Anaerobic Digestion in South Africa") **\#** [Energy Monitoring and Optimization](/energy-solutions/energy-monitoring-systems "Energy Monitoring and Optimization in South Africa")
