Our Grey Matter Switched To Green.
Our vision
From Vision to Action
Identifying major areas of investigation for a new kind of future only takes on its full meaning if research is supported by concrete steps to devise new solutions and create the right conditions for a revolution to happen. This is where, a long way upstream, Veolia R & D comes into play.
(Re)Defining The Future.
- by 2030 2/3 of the population will live in town
- 5,57 billion m3 of urban waters collected
- 1 million additional city dwellers every week
- 28 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually
Focus on Environmental Engineering
Time has come to harness energy able to help humanity blend in rapidly with a new environment. For our researchers, this implies a scientific approach to ecological considerations, i.e. environmental engineering
And so our research programmes are dedicated to ambitious projects such as:
- collecting,
- transporting and storing carbon dioxide,
- positive-energy buildings,
- ecovillages, sustainable development,
- bioenergy,
- groundwater recharge
- or industrial waste sorting.
Our mission is to address industrial environmental issues by applying disruptive technology on an international scale.
Anticipating and Joining the Next Industrial Revolution
After the steam engine, electric power, information technology, revolution on an unprecedented scale is dawning, affecting environment, industry and energy. A revolution all the more inevitable since balances around our planet are already shifting and time is running out.
