Thanks to the support provided by the Fondation SUEZ, sero-epidemiological studies were launched by the Dakar Pasteur Institute in July 2020, as part of the fight against the SARS-CoV-19 pandemic. Thesse comparative studies on the prevalence of anti-SARS-COV-2 antibodies were conducted to better identify the risk factors associated with the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus in populations resideing in active clusters of high transmission, as well as in areas missing documented proof of local transmission. Thi program is conducted by the Dakar Pasteur Insitute in collaboration with the Ministry of Public Health and Social Action of Senegal (MSAS), the National Blood Transfusion Center of Senegal, and the Pasteur Insitute (Paris).

The Pau Béarn Pyrénées (64) Agglomeration Community has entrusted the operation of a wastewater decontamination plant in Lescar and the construction of methanization and methanation plants to a consortium led by SUEZ and composed of Storengy (an ENGIE subsidiary), Egis, Sogea/Vinci and Camborde Architectes. The contract, generating cumulative revenue of €79 million, will start on January 1st, 2022 for a period of 17 years, with two years of works.

In line with the announcement made last January, SUEZ and FERMENTALG have created a joint venture to accelerate the development and sale of solutions for the capture and bioconversion of CO₂ (Carbon Capture and Utilization or CCU) by micro-algae photosynthesis. Named “CarbonWorks,” this joint venture, owned equally by the two Groups, is developing a new industrial photobioreactor standard. In the long-term, the joint venture will be capable of capturing several thousand tons of CO₂ at the source of emission, and of producing equivalent quantities of algae biomass intended in priority for the agricultural biocontrol as well as human and animal food markets.

In the United States, SUEZ has signed a series of water and wastewater treatment services contracts for total revenues of around €188 million, including a major operations and maintenance contract in Massachusetts, worth €137 million over 20 years.
