Abstract
Across Europe, both political and environmental attention is turning toward
the waste-to-energy market as landfill legislation and increasing waste
volumes amongst other factors force countries to revisit waste management
strategies and develop more cost effective, sustainable solutions. There are
over 400 waste-to-energy plants in Europe today that process some 50 million
tonnes of municipal solid waste per annum. To cope with the rising volumes of
waste to be treated and disposed of as a result of the Landfill Directive,
this number will significantly increase in the next 7 years, with over 100
plants or lines added by 2012.
