Purifying microbes reveal their secrets
|
DR Cemagref |
In
storage facilities, waste is degraded in an oxygen-free
environment and via a series of steps by microbes.
Cemagref scientists are working to identify each type of
microbe and understand their specific function in the
degradation process. Thanks to the progress made, it is
possible to redirect and intensify the reactions taking
place in order to transform the waste into biogas, a
renewable |
|
source of energy.

Ecobio, a software tool for the
recovery of biodegradable waste
|
A. Le Bozec |
With
support from public authorities, the recovery of
biodegradable waste is making great strides. But what
are the best investment decisions among the many
possible recovery techniques? To assist local
governments, Cemagref and its |
|
partner, Veolia Propreté,
have created a software programme to evaluate costs and
thus enable comparison between the different management
scenarios.
