| Initial Objectives : Generating more energy from waste (EfW) will reduce the amount of material sent to landfill sites, provide the opportunity to generate electricity and heat at a local level, and contribute to the reduction of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions. EfW represents an opportunity to produce clean, renewable energy from local sources that were previously destined for landfill sites. This project was mapping waste to provide a unique view of the UKs energy resource. This data will be made publicly available to organisations and businesses. This will aid technology developers and the Government in establishing the next generation of waste-fuelled, low-emission power plants. The project will also help identify the next generation of high efficiency technologies to generate low carbon EfW. |
