The panelist will discuss advancements in the waste to energy sector with focus on not only technologies, but feedstocks used in the gasification process.
TOPIC - Gasification: A new wave of projects
Many remain unconvinced on the future of gasification because of lower power yields, however the potential for resource output is far greater. With many new projects going ahead, this panel will evaluate the business case, challenges and success stories.
- What kinds of plants and waste are most suited to gasification and what are the benefits over combustion?
- Why are some markets more successful than others?
- Which projects are now underway and what have been the highs and lows for those who have pioneered?
- Where is the true potential of gasification? How great is the opportunity to contribute to the decarbonisation of industries such as transport and aviation and recycling of plastic?
- What incentives would help accelerate growth in this area?
Mr. Klinkhamer commented, “What an exciting panel we have this year, delegates at the event will benefit significantly from the discussion and we are thrilled to play a part on this panel.” This conference event is packed with great topics including the commercial and policy landscape, partnership and risk sharing models, project finance and investment, technology innovation, decarbonizing the transport sector, tackling the plastics crisis, international opportunities, and the climate change agenda.
