1 Circular Economy meets Energy Union
3 JRC study 2016: Towards a better exploitation of the technical potential of waste-to-energy 12,8% EU landfills 1,409 PJ of energy embedded in the waste (in Waste Incineration (WtE plants): 2012, JRC 2016) energy recovered and potential It is the equivalent to 12.8% of for technical improvement the total energy consumption of households in the EU Source: JRC, 2016
4 EC communication 2017: The role of WtE in the Circular Economy and Energy Union Expectations: call for landfill diversion fact-based projections for energy recovery exploit synergies between WtE and District Heating/Cooling networks linking Circular Economy and Energy Union
6 Rhine-Ruhr District Heating (FWSRR) Connection of regional heat CO 2 avoidance cost in € /t sources: power plants, WtE , industry Sustainable & price-stable heat supply Leading project for North Rhine- Westphalia climate protection Rhine-Ruhr DH Hydro RES Wind policy: CO 2 & CHP targets Wind Geothermal Photovoltaic total onshore offshore
8 Port of Antwerp industrial steam network (ECLUSE) Energy cluster: steam from WtE to chemical companies Sustainable and reliable energy supply for industry Important pillar in energy and competitiveness policy of the Flemish government
10 Olsztyn – integrated management of energy and waste Industrial source supplying around 50% heat to the District Heating network will EMISSION REDUCTION be decommissioned by 2020 SO 2 92% dust 71% WtE plant will divert residual waste from landfill and supply heat Local authority made integrated assessment for energy and waste management
11 Policy Recommendations Higher Energy Better waste Uniting Circular Economy and Energy Union goals Efficiency management Synergies between existing Diverting waste from landfills WtE has a double role in the networks (District Heating / to quality recycling and WtE waste management and Cooling, industrial heat) and energy systems further exploitation of potential for WtE
