The Trognon project wins the ‘Energies et Territoires’ competition

This Friday, 5 February 2021, an award ceremony was held, conforming to health regulations, in Pau in the presence of Cécile Boesinger, Teréga’s Research and Innovation Manager, Ludovic Lhuissier, CACG’s Director of Engineering Operations and Innovation and Jean-Paul Mestrot, CEO of CAPG Energies Nouvelles to reward the TROGNON project, designated winner of the ‘Energies et Territoires’ competition.

ENSGTI graduate Clément Bleuet, the project leader, thus received a cheque for €3,000.

TROGNON: a regional project encouraging a virtuous circle of bio-waste

"I am delighted to have won this award and received support from regional actors involved in energy transition. In France, organic waste represents one third of traditional waste. Trognon is an environmental, social but also solidarity project that intends to show the full potential of organic waste. ”
Clément Bleuet, Student & Project leader for the TROGNON project

‘Innovating for energy transition in rural areas’ was the ambition of the first edition of this student competition launched in September 2019 by Teréga, Crédit Agricole Pyrénées Gascogne (CAPG) and Compagnie d’Aménagement des Coteaux de Gascogne (CACG).
The organic waste recovery approach proposed by the Trognon project stood out from the two other promising finalist projects, Hydé and Ampère. Last February, the three winners received a grant of €1,000 and 6 months of support for the implementation of their respective projects.
