Waste: a problem and a resource(if done right)
• Huge health, climate and environmental challenge
• Almost 4 bill. tons of waste generated yearly
• Energy recovery with CCS are the best solution for residual waste (after materials recovery), with reduced climate emissions throughout the value chain
• Carbon Capture gives great global transfer value

Great transfer value
Source: EPA
• .
Large European waste market• Waste to Energy plants extensive sources of emissions• 450 plants in Europe• 82 mill. t. incinerated yearly in the European union (EU) =
82 mill. t. of CO2.• 98 mill. t. landfilled yearly in EU• Politically well regulated business
Large potential in the USA• Potential of approx. 32 mill. tons captured CO2/year
from existing combustion with energy recovery • 136 mill. tons landfilled = lost opportunity of mitigating
GHG, capturing CO2, producing energy and getting increased recovery of metals Waste to Energy plants extensive sources of emissions
Approx 210 TWh gives approx 42 TWh el. and 168 TWh heat. District heating & cooling
Waste = domestic resource; energy/materials/jobs - CCS
• It works ! Stable CO2 capture with 90 % capture efficiency
• Several technologies possible
• CO2 capture on waste ‘equals’ CO2 capture on coal.
• Capture of about 400’ tons CO2 yearly Potential app. 600’ tons
• Complete value chain = new projects (‘Next in kind’)

Carbon capture at Klemetsrudanlegget
– New incentive to increase WtE capacity– Low CO2-footprint profitable in the long run
• climate criteria in public tenders of energy recovery & consumer awareness
– Negative CO2/Bio-CCS. • A brand new product for the WtE-business
– Combined landfill/WtE with CCS. • Landfill mining, and the use of CCS and steam to
produce Hydrogen from landfill gas.
– «Growing green jobs based on technological solutions

CCS from Waste-to-Energy can be profitable
• Carbon capture is possible and necessary!
• Great potential in the waste sector
• Carbon capture from waste incineration fits well in a circular economy
• Creates new industry, new jobs and utilizes national resources in a new way.
