en.Wedoany.com Reported - French environmental services company Veolia S.A. has inaugurated a composting and biomass plant in Fuentes de Ebro, Zaragoza Province, Spain, integrating waste recovery based on local resources with a renewable energy production model.
The facility operates two complementary production lines. The composting plant has an annual processing capacity of 27,000 tons of organic waste, equipped with two independent treatment lines: one processes sewage sludge suitable for agricultural applications, while the other handles other waste for fertilizer production. The agricultural and forestry residue treatment platform has an annual capacity of 15,000 tons for energy recovery, producing natural solid fuels such as wood chips and pellets through sorting and crushing of materials, supplying industrial boilers and district heating networks. The total processing capacity of the plant exceeds 50,000 tons per year.
This project promotes the circular economy in the Aragón region, transforming previously discarded materials into new resources, creating local employment, and reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels, helping industries and heating systems operate in a cleaner manner.
Miguel Ruiz-Gálvez, Director of Veolia Biomass, stated that the facility embodies Veolia's GreenUp strategy, which accelerates ecological transition through integrated water, energy, and waste solutions, committed to a model that creates value from local resources while promoting the circular economy and regional decarbonization.
The infrastructure received public funding for sustainable investment from the European Union and the Department of the Presidency, Economy and Justice of the Government of Aragón, covering 40% of the costs for fertilizer refining and biomass process equipment.
