Veolia Australia & New Zealand

What Veolia Australia & New Zealand does

Veolia Australia & New Zealand is the regional operating subsidiary of Veolia Environnement SA (Euronext Paris: VIE), providing integrated environmental solutions across water, waste, and energy services to municipal governments and industrial clients in Australia and New Zealand. The ANZ portfolio spans municipal water treatment concessions (notably the Gerringong wastewater reuse facility using REUT technology), integrated municipal waste management (including the Australian Capital Territory materials recycling contract), and industrial water services for mining and power generation clients such as Queensland Water Utilities, Mount Piper Power Station, and Springvale Mine. The regional operations are anchored in a Melbourne regional headquarters with additional operational offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Canberra, Gerringong, and Auckland, and are backed by Veolia's global technology stack including the Hubgrade AI-powered digital platform for remote monitoring, the patented Drop® PFAS destruction technology (99.9999% removal), and the GreenPath Zero Carbon program offering over 100 decarbonation solutions.

The underlying technology combines proprietary treatment processes with digital optimization. Hubgrade and its control centers apply AI, IoT sensors, and analytics to monitor and optimize water, waste, and energy installations across remote and on-site deployments. Specialized offerings include desalination for water-scarce regions, REUT (Reuse of Treated Wastewater) for potable and industrial reuse, BeyondPFAS integrated treatment, waste-to-energy valorization (Veolia operates over 60 such units globally producing district heating and electricity), and biogas/biomethane production (99.5% purity for grid injection). The Flexcity subsidiary enables AI-optimized electrical flexibility services for grid operators. Veolia ANZ also benefits from strategic partnerships — including with Amazon for treated wastewater reuse in data center cooling and with TotalEnergies for biomethane and low-carbon energy — and from new Mistral AI generative AI integration for resource efficiency management.
