Using biogas from decomposing waste to power a municipal waste collection vehicle—Veolia Environmental Services met this challenge in October 2009.
Our Claye-Souilly facility in the Paris region is, in fact, the first in France to produce a biomethane fuel able to power vehicles.
A municipal waste collection vehicle and eight light-duty vehicles are already operating without fossil fuel. Heavy vehicles, buses and street sweepers will soon follow their lead. Good news for the environment in a world facing a growing shortage of oil and natural gas resources.
