Suez, a leading player in water and waste management, has strengthened its presence in Morocco with four new major agreements aimed at boosting sustainable development across the region. In partnership with Somagec, Jet Contractors, and Al Assima Intercommunal Cooperation Establishment, Suez is setting the foundation for a future where waste isn’t just managedโitโs transformed into a resource. ๐โก
Key Projects in the Pipeline
- Oum Azza Waste Treatment and Recovery Centre: Located in the Rabat region, this facility will handle waste from 13 municipalities in the Rabat-Salรฉ area. The focus isnโt just on disposal; itโs on transforming waste into something valuable. Part of the waste will be treated to produce biogas through fermentationโa cleaner, greener energy source that can power local needs. ๐๐จ
- Kenitra Waste Treatment Centre: Suez has also signed a 20-year contract for a green landfill development at Kenitra, with a projected capex of approximately EUR 120 million. This green landfill will recover resources from waste, creating opportunities for biogas production and improving environmental outcomes in the region. ๐ฑ
Innovation in Water Management and R&D
Beyond waste, Suez is diving into the challenge of water network improvements in Morocco. In collaboration with Safari Group, the focus is on modernizing and enhancing water management systems to ensure efficient and sustainable resource use.
Suez is also partnering with the MAScIR Foundation, which is associated with the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, to conduct research into organic matter treatment, water management, and seawater desalination. This research partnership aims to bring innovative solutions to Morocco’s water and environmental challenges, contributing to long-term sustainability. ๐๐ฌ
A Commitment to a Greener Morocco
These new contracts reflect Suezโs commitment to enhancing sustainable infrastructure and waste management practices in Morocco. By developing green landfills that turn waste into energy and focusing on improving water management, Suez is working hand in hand with local partners to ensure that Moroccoโs infrastructure can meet the needs of today without compromising the future. ๐ค๐
The importance of effective waste management cannot be overstated. With the development of Oum Azza and Kenitra green landfills, Morocco is stepping up its efforts to manage waste in an eco-friendly manner, while also creating new opportunities for energy generation and resource recovery. These projects align perfectly with global sustainability goals and Morocco’s vision for a greener future.
Conclusion
Suezโs expanded role in Morocco isnโt just about waste managementโitโs about transforming challenges into opportunities and paving the way for a sustainable future. From waste-to-energy innovations to collaborations aimed at solving water challenges, these initiatives are part of a broader movement to improve the quality of life in Morocco while contributing to global sustainability. ๐ฑ๐ก
