Jun 3, 2026 - Turning yesterday`s waste into tomorrow`s energy resource
The Trifyl waste treatment facility in southern France is demonstrating how to extract maximum value from the rubbish generated by the citizens of the Tarn Department. Enlit On The Road visited the facility and spoke with Philippe Henry, Director of Energy Recovery at Trifyl, about how the site is transforming household waste into biomethane, heat, solid fuel and even future solar generation, while also creating new revenue streams and improving local energy resilience. Henry explains that rather than burying waste as was the process in the past, Trifyl now extracts value from it through a recovery process that combines mechanical sorting, anaerobic digestion and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) production.
