Regenerative Energie
The participation and acceptance of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) in modern waste management has increased considerably in some countries of the European Union. Previously seen as polluting facilities, WtE plants are now considered as one of the cleanest and safest ways for treating and recovering municipal solid waste (MSW). The perception and value of waste has also changed in the last 20 years. Formerly seen as a useless object, waste is now seen as a valuable resource. WtE technologies together with recycling are the backbone of modern waste economy and the only real solutions for treating waste in an environmentally friendly way.
The aim of WTERT (Waste to Energy Research and Technology Council) is the identification of the best available technologies for the recovery of energy or fuels from municipal solid waste and other industrial, agricultural and forestry residues. Therefore the council conducts additional academic research as required, and disseminates this information by means of its publications, website and annual meetings. In particular, the international network strives to increase the global recovery of energy and materials from used solids and to develop the economic and environmental performance of Waste-to-Energy (WtE) technologies in the United States and worldwide. The guiding principle is that responsible management of waste must be based on science and best available technology and not what seems to be inexpensive now but can be very costly in the near future. That’s why the Waste to Energy Research and Technology Council brings together engineers, scientists and managers from universities and industry.

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
