Regenerative Energie
After a short introduction into the past of waste management the main technologies of waste combustion, emission control and residue treatment are described. The environmental compatibility in terms of air emission and residue management as well as the potential of waste incineration in the energy market is discussed. Special attention is turned to the importance of the biogenic energy fraction in waste and its positive effects concerning GHG emissions.
The EU Waste Framework Directive of 1975 (European Council, 1975) defines already a waste management strategy which bases on waste reduction, reuse and recycling. As a consequence the Landfill Directive (European Council, 1999) demands a significant reduction of the direct disposal of reactive or biodegradable waste on landfills. Several countries, e.g. Germany, have meanwhile enacted a total ban of such landfilling. This directive has changed respectively is going to change in many countries the structure of waste management systems. Waste inertisation processes are an important prerequisite to fulfil the requirements of the Landfill directive. In Europe the today preferred inertisation process is the incineration of waste on the grate. This paper will give a short overview of the development of waste incineration and outline its current importance for the waste as well as for the energy sector. An important aspect will be the environmental compatibility of the process emissions and their residues.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
