Producing Power using Previously Landfilled Waste Landfilling has historically been the most common method of disposing of solid wastes, but as these landfills fill up and the need for local energy sources rises, there is an increasing interest in a practice known as landfill mining. This involves excavating waste from an old landfill and processing it to recover materials and energy. The benefits of landfill mining include reducing the need for new landfills, reducing greenhouse ga...

Small Carbon Footprint Power Generation by WOIMA - WOIMA Blog 2/2023 Carbon neutral is a term that refers to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions to zero or to a level that is balanced by activities that absorb carbon dioxide, such as reforestation. Net zero refers to a situation where the total amount of carbon dioxide emitted is equal to the amount of carbon dioxide absorbed. This means that all emissions are either offset or reduced to zero.

Combusting Medical Waste for Energy Medical waste is a major issue in the healthcare industry. It is estimated that more than 50 million tons of medical waste is generated annually, most of which is non-hazardous, such as syringes, bandages, and packaging. However, some medical waste is hazardous, such as needles and other sharps, laboratory chemicals, and medical equipment contaminated with blood or other body fluids. Disposing of medical waste properly is essential to protect...

New Deal on Emission Trading System and Social Climate Fund The EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) is a carbon market based on a system of cap-and-trade of emission allowances for energy-intensive industries and the power generation sector. It is EU's main tool in addressing emissions reductions, covering about 40% of the EU's total CO2 emissions. The Council and Parliament have agreed to increase the overall ambition of carbon emission reductions in the sectors co...
