Mini Green Power decided to become a "Mission Company" in 2020 and became a part of the "Community of Mission Companies" in 2022. Being a "Mission Company" means publicly affirming our purpose and defining social and environmental goals that each employee will strive to follow in their professional activities.
Turning local waste
into clean energy.
Contribute to the environmental and energy transition by developing innovative technologies to transform waste that is not or poorly recovered into clean energy.
Turning solid waste from various sources into clean, cost-effective, local, low-carbon energy,
Promoting circular economy and sustainable development issues internally and externally,
Becoming a key player in helping our customers and partners to reduce their carbon footprint.
We focus our research on 3 main areas, with the dual aim of
better adapting to your specific needs and meeting the
environmental challenges you face.
To your specific needs and to meet the environmental
challenges you face.
This is Mini Green Power's core business, and has enabled us to achieve competitive energy prices compared with gas. Ongoing improvements to the process mean that the range of inputs that can be recovered by our facilities is expanding month by month: green waste, B-wood, CSR, with moisture content ranging from 15% to 55% and ash levels that can exceed 20%.
We are working on flue gas treatment and ash recovery to enable the use of class B wood or RDF. The challenge is to be ever cleaner in terms of emissions and to avoid any wastage of ash.
These solutions are designed to optimise plant operation and minimise pollutant emissions.
By pursuing our mission with authenticity and striving for excellence in the development of our technology,
we live and breathe these values that structure the company's activities.
We place the utmost importance on respect for authenticity, remaining aligned between what we say, what we do and what we think, by living our environmental mission every day. We strive to combine extreme frankness with kindness.
For us, striving for excellence means daring to test the limits. We are constantly evolving and looking for new ideas. We learn a lot from each other and from the projects we undertake, and we look for the best talent to help us move forward. Sharing is key. That's why we seek to value each employee in his or her area of expertise by encouraging them to give their best. This quest for excellence is also reflected in the attention we pay to research and innovation, the sense of daring and the passing on of knowledge and skills to younger people.
