Linköping
EU 20/20/20 Targets
CO2: 20% reduction relative to 1990.
EU will be willing to put this goal up
to 30% if the US, China and India
make similar commitments
Renewables: 20% of total energy
consumption – implying some 40% of
electricity production. Present value
6,5%.
Energy Efficiency: 20% reduction in
energy consumption relative to
’business as usual’
Waste market EU
-Regional Waste-to-Energy benefits
*
More than 50 million ton additional treatment capacity is
needed in Europe until 2020 (Industrial waste not
included)
Landfill Directive forces member states to find alternative
proven treatment methods to landfilling
Waste incineration with energy recovery is officially regarded as
an preferred treatment method to landfilling and the only proven
technology that together with higher recycling rates can solve
Europe's waste problem
Waste per capita is expected to increase from 520kg to 680kg
in 2020.
Energy market EU
-Energy off-taker benefits
*
There is a demand for more than 2000 TWh of
renewable energy from the European basic industry
The organic part of the waste is regarded as renewable energy
Waste-to-Energy is not included in the Emission Trading System
(ETS) and therefore does not require carbon credits
Waste-to-Energy render possible independent and locally
produced energy
Waste-to-Energy has the lowest energy production cost of all
known and proven technologies in Sweden
