Managing waste to cool down a warming world?
German RETech Partnership e.V., ISWA, Anja Schwetje Beatrice Decker
Methane and carbon dioxide emissions from dumpsites and landfills are a driver of global warming. Developing waste management systems with separate collection of biowaste and pre-treatment of residual materials not only supports recycling, substitution of fossil fuels, and resource protection - it is also a huge lever to fight climate change.

Conference
Waste can lead to various energy as heat, electricity, biomethane, molécule depending on the technological route chosen. Energy needs, decarbonisation regulation and recycling targets drive those technical choices. Nevertheless the final choice must measure affordability and bankability. How to navigate within those constraint to find your route ?
