The Chapter Vaud-Valais of EPFL Alumni invites you to visit Enerbois, the largest biomass plant in French-speaking Switzerland, on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Enerbois is the fruit of a partnership between Romande Energie and the Zahnd sawmill, enabling the sawmill's by-products to be recycled.

Presentation of Enerbois
Commissioned in 2010, Enerbois is the largest dry biomass power plant in French-speaking Switzerland. Located in the Gros-de-Vaud region, the plant is a model of industrial ecology: it recovers bark, sawdust and chips from the Zahnd sawmill to produce heat, electricity and pellets.
