Project Overview

Project Symbiose is an ambitious waste treatment and energy recovery initiative underway in Monaco, specifically planned for the Charles III islet. This €300 million project is set to replace Monaco's existing, outdated waste treatment facility in Fontvieille. The construction is anticipated to commence in 2030 and is designed to advance Monaco's environmental management by transforming waste into energy, thus supporting both ecological and economic goals.

Innovative Technology

The facility aims to use innovative technology to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and pollutants dramatically. By leveraging waste as a primary energy source, the project promises to provide heating and cooling solutions for new buildings in Monaco, eliminating the need for individual gas or oil-fired boilers and other less sustainable heating solutions. This not only represents a significant step towards circular economy principles but also positions Monaco as a leader in sustainable urban management.

Environmental Impact

The new plant will be capable of significantly lowering CO2 emissions and other pollutants compared to current levels. It's expected that, upon completion, Monaco's emissions will align with targets set by France for 2050, giving the principality a substantial lead in environmental standards.

Future Planning

Moreover, the project has been conceptualized to meet future energy needs, considering potential demographic changes or increases in building areas, ensuring it can adapt to Monaco's evolving demands.

Sustainability Commitment

The initiative highlights Monaco's commitment to integrating advanced waste management and energy recovery solutions that align with broader sustainability goals. This project not only reflects a significant technological leap but also a strong commitment to environmental stewardship.
