The power generation industry is under tight scrutiny as the world focuses on reducing greenhouse gases. For the established fossil fuel energy industry, the move to power generation by renewable means is putting it under enormous cost and reputational pressure.
For renewable energy suppliers, the big issue is providing sufficient return on investment in short enough periods of time to prove that renewable energy belongs in the mainstream and isn’t simply a useful alternative.
Either way, the power generation sector is in a state of operational flux, with a knock-on effect on waste management.
New technologies and new approaches are making it possible for the conventional part of the sector to find new revenue streams by reusing and recycling waste and also reduce waste handling costs.
