Local loops of energy

As a decentralized energy specialist, Veolia provides energy solutions that offer high-added value and meet requirements in terms of reliability, quality, availability and cost.

A District Cooling System ("DCS") produces chilled water within a centralized energy plant and distributes it through underground pipes to buildings connected to the system and provides them with air-conditioning. Therefore, individual buildings do not need split systems, chillers and/or cooling towers.  Once used in customer buildings, the water is returned to the central plant to be chilled again and then re-circulated through the closed-loop piping system.

Why Veolia Energy Solutions?
We understand that master developers and cities are strongly committed to end-user satisfaction and the protection of the environment as well; more than ever, they also need to control their costs and reduce their risk, while guaranteeing reliability and creating a safe environment. 

Our Understanding of the Challenges in the Industry

In today’s world, both businesses and local governments alike need to meet increasing energy demands while achieving sustainability commitments. At the same time, waste generation levels are accelerating, leaving communities and industry looking for ways to sustainably recycle or recover resources.

When sewage sludge becomes a source of green energy

The treatment of residual sludge from sewage treatment plants is a challenge that municipalities now have to tackle. They can achieve this by recovering the sludge to produce biogas by a process of thermal hydrolysis and anaerobic digestion.

From wastewater to green energy: biogas generation

Transforming sludge into biogas (which is a source of green energy) gives value to materials previously deemed harmful. It also helps combat the scarcity of raw materials and the use of fossil fuels.

For sewage treatment plant operators, converting sewage sludge into biogas complies with environmental regulations, drastically reduces residual sludge volumes and creates a new revenue stream, either by using the energy produced on-site, or by selling it to the local grid.

Contributing to sustainable cities building

A sustainable city is one designed with consideration of environmental impact. It is designed to minimise inputs such as energy, water and food, and outputs, such as heat, air pollution and water pollution. Sustainable development is an essential part of our business. We believe we can make a substantial contribution to the environmental, social and economic challenges of our time, while protecting, supporting and enhancing the human and natural resources needed in the future.
