Pollutec 2023: meet our experts at the event showcasing solutions for the environment and for energy

Join us at Pollutec 2023 to meet our Lyon Métropole and Aderly experts. Come and find out about all the opportunities the Lyon area has to offer and how we can help businesses achieve their transition in favour of the environment, energy sufficiency and society.

Pollutec is an international event showcasing solutions for the environment and the energy transition for industry, cities, and regions. Like in 2021, Lyon Métropole and Aderly (the Economic Development Agency for the Lyon Region) will take part in the 45th edition of the event, from Tuesday 10 to Friday 13 October 2023, at Eurexpo Lyon (Chassieu).
 

Join us at Pollutec 2023, hall 4 – aisle G, at the Lyon Métropole and Aderly booths

Throughout the event, we will be on hand at our neighbouring booths in aisle G of Hall 4 at Eurexpo Lyon.

• Métropole de Lyon booth, number 14, will focus on the topic "preserving resources".
• Aderly's booth, number 17, will promote businesses that offer innovative solutions for waste management and energy efficiency.

What's in store at the Lyon Métropole booth?

The Aderly booth showcases six solutions offered by local businesses

Join us at Aderly's booth (Hall 4 – G17) to discover innovative solutions provided by six companies that are moving or expanding into the Lyon region.

• Cycle Terre
  • Winner of the European initiative Urban Innovative Actions, Cycle Terre recovers and reuses earth excavated from building sites to produce building materials with a low environmental impact.
• Lemon Tri
  • Lemon Tri offers innovative solutions for sorting recyclable waste at source and collecting reusable packaging. These solutions increase recycling and reuse rates and create employment opportunities for people (re)integrating the job market.
• Leviathan Dynamics
  • Leviathan Dynamics designs and manufactures a centrifugal compressor system that uses mechanical vapour compression. It is used in two energy-efficient innovations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save water: "clean" heating and cooling technology using water as a natural refrigerant (heat pumps, chillers) and a wastewater treatment system for a circular economy (evapo-concentration process).
• Moulinot 
  • Moulinot is a solidarity-based company with social value (the French ESUS status) specialised in managing food waste (biowaste). It collects and treats food waste which it then supplies to local farmers and operators of anaerobic digestion plants. Moulinot also helps its customers introduce sorting systems and provides training in environmental issues.
• Novumtech and Renault Trucks 
  • Novumtech, a startup specialised in designing and manufacturing batteries, and Renault Trucks, a pioneer in the circular economy and electric mobility, are combining their expertise to decarbonise the goods transport sector. The two partners have just passed a key milestone by converting a 16-tonne diesel lorry into a battery-powered electric truck. This electric retrofit is a win-win project because it preserves natural resources whilst reducing the environmental impact of the vehicle's use.
  • With financial backing from the French Environment and Energy Management Agency ADEME, the project was launched at the Renault Trucks plant in Lyon through the CampX programme. This programme enables Renault Trucks to step up its technological and commercial innovation by creating synergies between its teams and startups.
• OGGA
  • OGGA is a new Lyon-based company that offers a technological solution to reduce energy consumption in housing using an electronic module and a self-learning algorithm. Easily installed and particularly well-suited to social housing, it offers savings on heating bills and avoids unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The company designs and markets its products in the heart of Lyon. It draws on the region's ecosystem for both production and preparation. With Solar Impulse certification and over 10,000 homes fitted with its system, OGGA is the first company to introduce the "smart home" concept on a large-scale in social housing. It has already avoided over 30,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
