Optimization and Designing of Modern Waste-to-Energy Plants

About 400 waste incineration boilers with a total incineration capacity of approx. 45,000 tons of waste per hour exist in Germany today.

Germany is well provided with waste-to-energy plants, there is no demand for further Expansion currently. The same applies to RDF-(refuse-derived-fuel) plants: the incineration capacity to utilize RDF is sufficient for its production in Germany.

There is a very different situation in many other countries in the world. Even today there is a focus on waste disposal and treatment by landfill. However, there are many different reasons for taking another new direction.

• Changes in legislation, for example in the new EU accession countries. (The European law about waste 2008/98/EG defines that all EU Member States have to effort to professional refuse utilization. On 31/12/2014 the Commission responsible checks the progress and concepts of the Member States. Having waited and postponed necessary decisions put many countries under pressure today.)

• Catastrophic environmental problems by unprofessional realization of landfill

• Acceptance problems in population (e.g. in Vietnam, in Brazil and others)

• Landfills and their impact as disturbing argument for tourism

In many countries the waste amounts are considerable and, even setting for example 35 % of the utilizing waste amounts as target value, there still remains open a high potential for power Generation.

© 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.
