About
Aquafin is the Flemish wastewater treatment utility, owned by the Flemish Environmental Holding, which operates over 300 wastewater treatment plants and treats ~86% of Flanders’ domestic wastewater. Its biochar project at the RWZI Menen site—pyrolyzing sewage sludge in partnership with Ebema and D-CRBN—is an adjacent side activity within its broader sludge valorization strategy, alongside biogas, biomethane, and a BESIX-Indaver mono-incineration plant planned for Ghent. Wastewater treatment, not CDR, is the company’s core business.
