Global Waste-to-Energy Market to Be Worth $11,772M

Friday 22 July 2016, Amsterdam

This brand new report, now available on ASDReports, the Waste to Energy (WtE) Market Outlook 2016-2026: Capacity (tpa) & CAPEX ($m) Forecasts for Incineration of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) & Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) in Electricity Generation, District Heating & Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Energy from Waste (EfW) Plants; Featuring Technologies: Mass Burn, Gasification, Pyrolysis, Fluidised Bed, Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT), & Advanced Conversion Technology (ACT) indicates that the global WtE market will see CAPEX spending of $11,772m in 2016, as growth starts to escalate in Europe and Asia. In addition, in 2016 waste processing capacity amounts to nearly 300 million metric tonnes per year, on a global scale.

The lead analyst of the report commented that: “It is very easy to confuse waste incinerators of the past with modern waste-to-energy plants. However, the truth is that current performance of the WtE industry is irreproachable. While there is an obvious need to prevent the excessive generation of global waste, the technologies for energy-from-waste recovery can assume a central part in mitigating the problem. To support this, studies have shown that communities that use energy-from-waste solutions generally account for higher recycling rates than those that do not. Today, waste-to-energy projects based on combustion technologies are highly efficient power plants that utilise solid waste as their fuel as opposed to oil, coal or natural gas. Far better than burning up energy to search, recover, process and convey the fuel from some distant source, waste-to-energy technology finds worth in what others consider garbage”.

The 256-page report contains 181 tables, charts and graphs that add visual analysis in order to explain developing trends within the WtE Market. The key player provides forecasts for the period 2016-2026 in terms of CAPEX and capacity for the global market, as well as for 12 leading national markets (UK, Ireland, Sweden, Czech Republic, Finland, Italy, Poland, Denmark, China, Japan, US and Canada) as well as the rest of Europe, rest of Asia-Pacific and rest of the World. The report also provides in-depth analysis on a total of 32 national markets. There are also extensive tables detailing more than 700 global waste-to-energy projects.
