Waste to Energy Concepts-a Key Component of Sustainable Waste Management Systems
The main objectives of current waste management R&D projects are the implementation of a closed and energetically efficient circular economy as well as of the introduction of a zero-waste concept.Especially thermal waste treatment hereby plays an increasingly important role in European waste management systems.This is mainly due to recent changes in the European environmental legislation as well as the increasing performance of the newly built thermal treatment plants with regard to energy recovery,emission control and reliability.Current thermal waste treatment technologies have proven to have many energetic,ecological and economic advantages over other treatment options.This paper first focuses on the past and current role of thermal waste treatment in Germany,as well as its development over the past 30 years.It hereby especially highlights the already implemented and further developed waste incineration capacity.Furthermore,the increasing importance of MSW incineration as well as of respective processes such as mono- and co-firing of RDF in the cement and coal industry,are highlighted.
