Waste-to-Energy (WtE) has emerged as one of the most effective ways to address two pressing global issues: the growing volume of municipal and industrial waste, and the rising demand for sustainable energy. Instead of sending waste to landfills, WtE technologies convert it into electricity, heat, and cooling, while maximizing recycling opportunities.

Our partners, including Valmet, provide proven solutions for demanding fuels. Their advanced combustion and gasification technologies deliver high fuel flexibility, excellent environmental performance, and electrical efficiency comparable to biomass-fired power plants. This means cities and industries can generate more electricity while reducing their carbon footprint and improving profitability.

Valmet’s fluidized bed technology supports both large-scale plants (up to 1,000 MW fuel input) and modular solutions for smaller facilities consuming around 100,000 tons of waste annually. These plants can produce approximately 9 MW of electricity, making WtE accessible for communities of different sizes.

Key Challenges in the Waste-to-Energy Sector

While WtE offers immense potential, the industry faces several challenges:

• Fuel variability: Waste streams differ in composition, moisture, and calorific value, requiring highly flexible combustion systems.
• Environmental compliance: Stricter emission regulations demand advanced flue gas cleaning and monitoring technologies.
• Economic viability: High capital investment and operating costs must be balanced with efficiency gains and revenue from energy sales.
• Public perception: Communities often raise concerns about emissions, odor, and safety, requiring transparent communication and reliable performance data.
• Integration with recycling: WtE plants must complement, not compete with, recycling programs, ensuring maximum material recovery before energy conversion.

Our solutions are designed to address these challenges, combining technology innovation, automation, and service expertise to deliver reliable and sustainable performance.
