On December 18, after five years of studies and work marked by exceptional challenges, the infrastructures of the Run'Eva multi-sector center were officially inaugurated in Reunion, bringing together many local and institutional personalities.
Supported by the Ileva joint union, this ambitious project responds to the challenges of saturation of the island's waste landfill capacities and is part of the national energy transition objectives. Run'Eva offers an innovative multi-sector solution for the management and recovery of household waste in the southern and western territories of Reunion, representing more than 60% of the local population.
Run'Eva covers an area of 7 hectares and brings together state-of-the-art facilities. The group led by Spie Batignolles carried out 39 works. These infrastructures include units for sorting recyclable materials, methanization of biowaste and energy recovery from solid recovered fuels (CSR). In addition to these process buildings with a total surface area of 17,000 m², there is an administrative space of 3,000 m². The whole is completed by 15,000 m² of roads and 30 km of networks deployed on the site. In total, a volume of 21,000 m³ of concrete was used, nearly 3,000 tonnes of reinforcement and 1,800 tonnes of metal framework used.
The center is designed to treat 145,000 tonnes of waste per year and produce electricity using a steam turbine generating 15 MWe. This production not only contributes to reducing the volume of landfilled waste, but also to strengthening the island's energy autonomy while reducing its carbon footprint.
