Can Waste-to-Energy become carbon negative?

A conversation with

• Jannicke Bjerkas, Director CCS Fortum Oslo Varme
• David Kearns, Senior Consultant, Global CCS Institute
• Maria Velkova, Policy Officer, European Commission

Moderated by

• Patrick Clerens, Secretary-General, ESWET

With previsions of global waste generation almost doubling by 2050, the application of carbon capture technologies in Wasteto- Energy is a great opportunity to move away from landfills and limit global warming. The development of CCS in Waste-to-Energy plants can turn waste into a negative emitter. What is still needed to make it happen?

A conversation with three high-level speakers from EU institutions, industry and research helped us to understand whether and how non-recyclable waste can deliver negative emissions, and which policies are needed for Europe to lead this process.
