This research service provides an analysis of the European waste to energy (WTE) plant market for the period 20092016, with a detailed breakdown of the incineration segment. The study looks at the WTE aspect of municipal solid waste (MSW) management and covers the technology used and the age of installed units across Europe. It also describes the ...

The possibility of generating energy through landfill gas is an opportunity that has been gaining momentum in recent years. In 2018, the United States generated 292.4 million tons of waste, 146.1 million tons of which was sent to landfills. These landfills are one of the main emitters of methane in the country, a greenhouse gas with a much higher h...

Asias large population and rapid urbanization have led to vast amounts of municipal solid waste (MSW) generation. Estimated at more than one million tonnes per day, MSW generation in urban Asia is only expected to increase in the coming years. Managing this waste is becoming a problem, with landfilling fast fading as a viable option, since land ava...

The gap between energy demand and supply is one of the major global challenges and simultaneously, the replacement of coal, oil and natural gas with carbon dioxide lean or neutral fuels has also become very crucial . The development of technologies accelerating renewable and sustainable energy generation provides alternatives to the current fuel s...

Municipal waste management has become a significant concern amongst the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The total municipal solid waste (MSW) generated in the region is expected to reach as high as 127.5 million megatonnes (MT) in 2020. The existing landfilling strategies in the GCC region will not suffice to handle such a high volume of ...

Increasingly stringent emission regulations and growing environmental awareness has been driving widespread adoption of clean energy solutions adhering to low carbon protocols. On the other side, growing urbanization and industrialization across the globe, which has led towards growth in consumption of goods, and materials, has resulted in a waste ...

The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) generated and emitted into the atmosphere continues to rise as a direct result of a series of complex interactions including population growth, improved standards of living, and expanding economies, and this is clearly demonstrated by both the increasing absolute level and the annual rate of increase in atmospheri...

Industries and countries across the world are facing three crucial challenges: waste management, greenhouse gas emissions, and limited resource availability. Sustainably recycling and reusing products (i.e., supply chain circularization) can address these aforementioned challenges. Despite this advantage, the deployment of a circular economy in mos...
