To achieve the goals, Hong Kong needs sufficient waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities to handle municipal solid waste (MSW), together with promoting waste reduction and clean recycling. The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) announced today (January 25) the commencement of the planning studies on developing new WtE facilities.
Indonesia has faced similar challenges. Despite high-level government support for waste-to-energy in the face of serious waste management challenges and a biomass and waste energy target of 810 megawatts by 2025, few projects have moved ahead. Progress has lagged because of a public backlash against incineration projects.
Production of substitute fuels: waste is treated to obtain substitute liquid and/or solid fuels with a high calorific value (CLS, CSS). Cogeneration enables the production of both types of energy simultaneously. The
Abstract. Nowadays, energy is key consideration in discussions of sustainable development.
