On Réunion Island, a state-of-the-art waste-to-energy facility will soon divert approximately 240,000 tons of waste per year from landfills. The plant will generate electricity using Solid Recovered Fuels (SRF), derived directly from household waste, covering about 10% of local electricity needs. The overall cost of the project is estimated to be around €400 million. Full operational capacity of the facility is expected within two years.
