en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Trifyl waste treatment facility in the Tarn department of southern France transforms household waste into biomethane, thermal energy, solid fuel, and future solar power through mechanical sorting, anaerobic digestion, and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production, while generating revenue and enhancing local energy resilience.

Philippe Henry, Director of Energy Recovery at Trifyl, stated during an Enlit On The Road visit to the facility that it no longer buries waste but instead extracts value through the aforementioned recovery processes. Henry explained that waste collected from households is transported to the plant's waste pit, where all materials with value are separated, and gas is produced through anaerobic digestion. This process reduces landfill volume and brings economic benefits to the Tarn region.

Henry noted that the biomethane injected into the regional natural gas network provides a direct source of revenue, while RDF converts residual waste into fuel and lowers disposal costs. The facility already meets approximately 10% of local natural gas demand with waste-derived biomethane.

Henry also highlighted efficiency gains: a traditional landfill unit containing about 200,000 tons of waste takes 20 to 25 years to slowly generate gas, whereas Trifyl's modern anaerobic digestion system can produce the same volume of gas within weeks.

The site embodies a vision of circular land use. Henry stated that once the landfill section is fully closed, solar photovoltaic panels will be installed on the unusable land surface to generate solar electricity.
