Two years of work were necessary to build and commission the energy recovery unit of Montauban (Mo'UVE), while maintaining the old installation in operation, in order to ensure the continuity of waste treatment. Objective: use local waste to produce alternative energy to fossil, low-carbon and local energies.

November 7th, Marie-Claude Berlypresident of Sirtomad, and Joel Séchépresident of Séché environment, officially inaugurated Mo'UVE.

Electricity and heat production

Thanks to this unit, waste from Grand Montauban and Terres de Confluences is subject to energy recovery, in the form of renewable electricity production and increasing injection capacity on the urban heat network.

With Mo'UVE, the region has new energy resources from waste:

• The site now produces almost twice as much thermal energy for the heating network, which has recently enabled the expansion of the latter. It now serves numerous public and private buildings, representing the equivalent of 4,200 housing units.
• Mo'UVE is also now a producer of electricity, the majority of which is injected into the public network (i.e. the annual consumption of 15,000 inhabitants).

Thousands of tons of waste processed

38,500 tonnes of household waste will be processed here every year. The site employs 24 employees.

“The smoke treatment has finally been completely overhauled, and meets the strictest requirements, thus contributing to air quality objectives,” specifies Séché Environnement.

The factory represents an investment of 50 million euros.
