A Global Perspective on the Short and Long-Term Markets for Waste to Energy & Resources

Turning its format online, the 9th World Waste to Energy & Resources Summit will maintain its well-recognised commercial focus on forging new partnerships, driving forward industry projects, showcasing the latest innovations, introducing new market opportunities and providing updates to policy and finance models.

The 2020 summit will offer a global perspective on the short and long-term markets for energy from waste. The agenda will promote debate on the opportunities and challenges of capitalising on the short term market boom we are seeing globally and look at the longer term ambitions of the sector including its place in the climate change agenda and evaluating which technologies will prove most commercially viable for the future.

Delegates and speakers representing the global market at a senior level will be from leading waste management operators, developers and technology suppliers alongside governments, municipalities and legal and finance partners.
