Results of Specific Data for Energy, R1 Plant Efficiency Factor and NCV of 314 European Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plants

A study by the German Environment Ministry (BMU)

A presentation given by Jan Manders, CEWEP Deputy President, during the DAKOVA/ISWA conference in Copenhagen on 3 December 2009

Results of Specific Data for Energy, R1 Plant Efficiency factor and Net Calorific Value (NCV) of 231 European WtE Plants

FFact carried out a study on behalf of CEWEP into "Waste-to-Energy`s contribution to climate protection". They demonstrate the positive effect the implementation of the energy efficiency formula (R1, Annex II), proposed by the Commission in the new Waste Framework Directive and supported by the Council, could have on CO2 emissions.

The application of the Landfill Directive will save approximately 74 million tonnes CO2-equivalents by 2016, thanks to avoided landfill gas (methane) emissions, according to a study carried out by the Öko-Institute on behalf of the German Federal Environment Agency (UBA) and the Federal Environment Ministry (BMU).

A study published by the Swiss Federal Agency for the Environment, Forestry and Landscape (BUWAL) and the Zurich Office for Waste, Water, Energy and Air (AWEL) has concluded that the production of electricity from waste incineration helps protect the environment.

The purpose of this report is to present waste incineration with energy recovery in Sweden.
