Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe was packed with talks and meetings for ESWET - European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology and its members present there. Our Head of Policy Charoula Melliou met with Anthony Jigorel of LAB , Andy Roeloffzen of Brusche Process Technology, and Tom Croymans, PhD of Keppel Seghers Belgium & Chairman of the ESWET CCUS Working Group to discuss the latest updates in the field and how carbon capture can be best integrated in Waste-to-Energy projects. Thank you everyone for the great time in Hamburg! #CCUS #WasteToEnergy

A big thank you to ESWET member ANDRITZ and René Schöberl for hosting ESWET's Head of Policy Charoula Melliou, and Aurélie Moll from SICK Sensor Intelligence at their booth during the Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe in Hamburg this week! 🙌 It’s been a fantastic opportunity to connect and discuss cutting-edge solutions in carbon capture technology. #CCUS #CarbonCapture #WasteToEnergy #Innovation #Sustainability

⚙️💡 Harnessing existing infrastructure for a sustainable energy future   In the transition towards cleaner energy systems, it is crucial that we make smart use of existing infrastructure at the local, regional, and EU levels. By leveraging what's already in place in a coordinated and efficient manner, we can accelerate the integration of renewable and low-carbon energy sources. This approach not only reduces costs but also maximizes the potential for a greener, more resilient energy system.   Read more recommendations in our #ENZARoadmap: https://lnkd.in/eGQMrrjB Bioenergy Europe | Euroheat & Power | CEDEC- European Federation of Local & Regional Energy Companies | COGEN Europe | ePURE: European renewable ethanol association | Eurogas | Cerame-Unie | EUTurbines - European Association of Gas and Steam Turbine Manufacturers | GEODE - The voice of local energy distributors across Europe | EUGINE – The European Engine Power Plants Association | Hydrogen Europe | CEWEP | European Builders Confederation EBC | ESWET - European Suppliers of Waste-to-Energy Technology | ETN Global | Fertilizers Europe | Solar Heat Europe (ESTIF) | EHI - Association of the European Heating Industry | Cepi | CEFS (EU SUGAR) | EWABA | SMEunited | Energy Traders Europe

Last week's BBC News analysis of #WastetoEnergy in the UK raises well-known questions. However, by it omitting critical data, overlooking the challenges of #wastemanagement and Waste-to-Energy (WtE)'s clear benefits, the BBC fails to present a comprehensive and realistic view of the sector. The analysis frames #WtE as a power-producing sector and criticises it based on the emissions per kWh of energy that it produces. The BBC however, omits that WtE’s primary role is waste management, and not energy generation. Any comparison with coal or other energy sectors is based on a wrong assumption - WtE’s purpose is to safely deal with residual waste that can’t be recycled or composted. Landfills, the alternative option for managing this residual waste, release far greater amounts of greenhouse gases, especially methane, a much more potent pollutant than the #CO2 produced by WtE plants. The BBC also argues that almost half of the household #plastic waste in the UK is being incinerated, decrying WtE’s impact on the climate. However, the analysis ignores the WtE sector’s calls for a drastic reduction in plastic production and use. WtE operators even go as far as to reject plastic streams in their input, fully aware that plastic waste increases their incinerators’ carbon footprint. At ESWET, we are convinced that dismissing WtE in its entirety misses the point: only a holistic approach to waste management – where society also plays its role in avoiding waste generation in the first place – can lead to a significant reduction in waste-related environmental and #climate impact.

Thank you, members, for all your thoughtful contributions to the ESWET #CarbonCapture, Utilisation and Storage (#CCUS) working group on 16 October. It was a pleasure to discuss this crucial topic with all of you. Special thanks to Tom Croymans, PhD for chairing the meeting at ESWET's office in Brussels. #wastetoenergy #waste

So many ESWET members turned up in Brussels today for ESWET's Technical Committee! What a pleasure to reconnect with all of you and talk about the future of #wastetoenergy and #waste. 🙏 A special thank you to our guest speakers #JuliaVogel, Douence Marine & #PeterQuicker

The Carbon Capture Technology Expo Europe is set to take place on October 23-24, 2024 at the Hamburg Messe, marking the world's largest event dedicated to Carbon Capture, Utilisation & Storage (CCUS). As the urgent challenge of mitigating climate change looms, CCUS technologies are emerging as essential tools in the transition to a net-zero carbon economy. The International Energy Agency (IEA) and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have concluded that carbon capture is crucial in the fight against climate change. The Carbon Capture Technology Expo offers: • Networking opportunities with industry frontrunners and best-in-class solution providers • Insights into the latest advances in carbon capture, storage, and transport technologies • Exploration of unique ways to utilize CO2 for producing net-zero fuels and other manufacturing processes • Engagement with leading experts from around the world Discover the full event program: https://lnkd.in/esxUFHy #Carbon #CarbonCapture #Hydrogen #CCTE2024 #BlueHydrogen #CarbonCaptureTechnologyExpoEurope

🤝 ESWET is a proud media partner of the 2025 Bio360 Expo. We look forward to this unmissable annual event, and to working with the @Bio360 Expo team! #wastetoenergy #waste Paul Stuart Lara Bertarelli Thomas MORAND

Landfills have long been considered the default solution for #waste disposal, but their negative consequences on the environment can no longer be ignored. In our latest article, we expose landfills' negative impact on humans and nature, from #water and #groundwatercontamination to #airpollution and #climate. Learn more about why landfills are a hazard and why #WastetoEnergy is a more sustainable alternative ⤵ https://lnkd.in/dnPaqvXV
