20th January 2021 :High level analysis of the integration of WtE with CCS CCU

This webinar will look at the recent IEAGHG study on CCS on Waste to Energy (WtE). CCS and CCU technologies in WtE plants might have a significant impact on the whole waste industry and global climate commitments. Waste treatment is a traditional sector, driven by regulation and public interest, both ideal for the penetration of CCS/CCU. Waste is processed locally, what places that industry under the objectives of individual governments and single contexts.

The objective of this study was to understand some of the issues pertaining to this CCS/CCU opportunity and analyse these at national level. In this webinar, the presenters will discuss the following aspects explored in the study:

. Lifecycle assessment of CO2 savings in WtE plant
. Overview of projects aimed at integrating Carbon Capture with WtE
. Challenges and opportunities of CCS/CCU integration with WtE
. Evaluation of the potential of the opportunity of applying Carbon Capture to a WTE in different geographical contexts
