Global Waste to Energy (WTE) Market

Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and high power consumption, and the rise in environmental concerns have catalyzed the demand to the shift of preference toward renewable energy sources. Waste to energy is an innovative way to tackle this issue and many organizations are investing significantly and endeavoring to obtain energy from waste. Energy is generated in terms of heat or electricity by treatment of waste. Governments are funding projects to improve waste management systems and focus on alternative sources of energy. The WTE plants have witnessed a rise primarily across North America and Europe.

Thus, supportive government initiatives, growth in need to reduce greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, and proliferation in energy needs drive the global waste to energy market, whereas, high investment costs and lack of awareness could hamper its growth. However, favorable regulatory norms such as tax incentives present opportunities in the market.

The global waste to energy market is segmented on the basis of technology and geography. Technologies covered in the study are thermal and biological.
