If the EU unilaterally tightens up climate and energy policy targets, significantly strengthened protection measures for Industry are needed, because their pressure to shift is growing due to increasing energy and climate costs.

Now a concrete set of measures for a sustainable, ecological change in the EU, in line with a new growth strategy, is necessary.

Waste to Energy (WtE) facilities treat household and similar waste that cannot be prevented, reused or recycled. Through the thermal treatment process, the facilities recover energy from the waste. The energy, categorised as partly renewable due to the partly biogenic feedstock, is defined as biomass under the Renewable Energy Directive. This energy can be in the form of steam, electricity or hot water.
