Generating energy from waste
For close to 100 years now, TIRU has been operating waste treatment units to produce energy in the form of heat and electricity. Its proven expertise in waste-to-energy recycling meets the needs of its customers - local authorities, public or private companies - while playing a major role in sustainable development.
TIRU transforms waste into electricity and heat
What is waste-to-energy recovery for?
Combustion of household waste produces energy (electricity and/or steam) for urban heating, industrial and agricultural uses.
In 2016, the energy recovery centres sold nearly 2.76 tWh of electricity and steam, 50% of which came from renewable energy sources.
How does heat recovery work?
The biological recovery of waste enables the production of biogas, which can be recovered in the form of energy (electricity or heat) or compost, used in particular for agriculture.
TIRU offers tailor-made energy recovery solutions
Installations made to measure for objectives
TIRU operates units of different capacities in France and abroad, designed to meet the specific needs of each customer, such as:

Energy recovery: a sustainable development challenge
TIRU takes up the challenge of developing the renewable energy sector, alongside EDF.
The 5 advantages of energy recovery: :
- It allows the production of green energy
- It generates an enormous saving of fossil fuels (oil, gas etc.)
- It reduces waste volume by 90%.
- It destroys viruses and germs from our waste during combustion.
- It helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
