Programs

Veolia Environnement’s activities, which include water supply, wastewater collection and treatment, energy facility management, waste collection, treatment and recovery and public transportation management, are closely linked to contemporary issues. Our programs aim to improve existing solutions and to innovate by creating the technologies of the future. Veolia’s research revolves around four main topics.

Managing and Protecting Natural Resources

Water programs focus on seawater desalination and aquifer recharge using treated wastewater and stormwater. Our waste research studies ways to improve sorting. In terms of energy resources, Veolia researchers work on reducing non-renewable energy consumption and cogeneration.

Limiting Impacts on the Natural Environment

Goals include perfecting water treatment technologies, improving methods for capturing, storing and recovering CO2, limiting carbon emissions, controlling facility air emissions, expanding the use of electric vehicles for transportation, better controlling the impact of facilities, decreasing sludge production and recycling sludge.

Improving Community Living Conditions

We conduct research on water treatment systems to meet the needs of developing countries. Air quality, public health risk management and ways to improve transportation systems—through information, comfort, safety, accessibility—are also studied.

Developing Alternative Energy Sources

Veolia is concentrating on producing substitute fuels and biofuels, on biomass and solar heating and on industrial applications for fuel cells. However, we are also interested in waste incinerator energy recovery and assessing the potential of anaerobic digestion plants.
