Waste-to-energy facilities are becoming an increasingly important choice for managing waste that can’t be recycled or composted.
This "residual" waste can be used to recover useful energy in the forms of electricity (for your computer or TV) and heat (to warm offices, homes or factories).
Locally, choices must be made about the best way to use waste-to-energy systems...
Which technologies are best? Should there be one big plant or several smaller ones? Where should they be built? |
Making these decisions is far from easy, which is why David Longden has investigated how they may be tackled with a view to finding the best area-tailored waste-to-energy solution. He applied his approach to the UK counties of Cornwall and Warwickshire.
Any decision on how your waste is managed may affect you. It may even mean a new waste-to-energy plant built in your neighbourhood.
It’s time to get beyond your bin and find out what the options and issues are.
