WtE incineration dominated the reported power generation of projects in January 2015.
Wood-based materials – whether waste products or grown specially – are increasingly being used as a fuel for providing domestic power for heat and light.
Waste plan investment continues to be very strong in the UK, with a reported US$1.1 billion in January 2015.
In case you missed it, the most popular report over the last week was #FoodWaste for the second week running!
The 91 waste plant developments analysed in this report represent investment of US$2.4 billion. The projects were all reported in Waste Business Finder from Q1 2013 to Q4 2014 and are located 18 countries as diverse as India, Ghana, Hong Kong, Germany and the UK. Dealing with food waste is becoming a rising priority in established and fast-growing developing markets where rising incomes is leading to more consumption of packaged/processed foods. Where figures are available, a total of 2.79 million tonnes per year of capacity will be added to process this growing waste burden. A useful by-product of food waste disposal is power generation: often small in scale and meeting local needs, over 90MW of generating is expected from the 41 projects that provided figures.
