Abstract

European countries are currently promoting Waste-to-Energy programs whereby various forms of energy can be produced from waste as a means of preventing global warming, reducing the amount of landfill waste, and developing alternative energy sources for oil.<BR>This paper focuses on European trends in energy recovery, with waste incineration and biogasification being used as measures for putting the Waste-to-Energy concept to work. The background of domestic waste management in Europe and laws regarding energy are introduced here, along with the current status of domestic waste management and utilization of renewable energy. The paper also includes reporting on three biogasification facilities and a mechanical-biological treatment facility, actually doing Waste-to-Energy in Europe at present. The paper also suggests ways in which the promotion of Waste-to-Energy can be taken up in Japan.
