Recycling & Waste World Energy From Waste Conference 2006 |
End Date: |
16/03/06 |
Venue: |
Institute of Physics, London |
Details: |
Waste is finally being regarded as a resource - and in todays integrated waste management plans, it is a resource of both materials and energy. However, implementing a reliable, cost-effective and deliverable solution remains as challenging as ever. The questions have moved on from "Is this a solution?" to the detailed and practical:
• What approach to meeting LATS targets is best?
• How can planning and public acceptance issues be eased?
• Of the many financing options available, which one will work best for a particular project?
• When and how can waste derived fuel be economically used?
• What are the merits of the various technologies and technology combinations?
With billions of pounds forecast as necessary investment in the waste management infrastructure of the UK, these are critical questions which will affect all aspects of waste, power and the environment. For all those involved in these industries, whether at the heart of them or on the periphery, this conference provides essential information enabling sound, long-term decision making. |
