Increasing WTE thermal efficiency - Sharing energy with industry (Manchester, U.K. and Amotfors, Sweden)

The feasibility of waste-fired Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plants will be illustrated by two cases in which industrial companies took the opportunity to replace fossil fuels by household (or similar) waste as energy source for their industrial production. The Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Runcorn (UK) is being developed as part of the Greater Manchester Waste contract. After completion in 2012, the TPS (2 x 87 MWth) will be processing up to 425,000 tons of high-calorific RDF. The TPS (WTE) is an example of how an economy of scale allows for a highly efficient supply of process steam and electricity to INEOS at one of the largest industrial sites in the UK.

The Nordic Paper WTE in Åmotfors (Sweden) combusts about 74,000 tons of medium-calorific municipal solid wastes (MSW) per year and is an example of how CHP can also be realized at a smaller scale (1 x 28 MWth). With a dedicated design that exploits plant flexibility, the neighboring energy consumers (paper mills, district heating and electrical grid) can be adequately served.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens - ein Rechtsvergleich
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (8/2024)
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.
