3rd Waste-to-Energy Asia Summit in Bangkok : Conference: Huge Potential for Waste to Energy in South East Asia
Delegates to the 3rd Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Asia Summit, taking place from 30 November – 02 December in Bangkok, will hear how waste to energy development can benefit expanding South East Asian economies.
Prior to its forthcoming presentation at the event, thermal waste treatment specialist Doosan Lentjes noted that the local Thailand produced more than 15 million tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) in 2009, but only 25% of this generated waste was treated which is equivalent to approx. 3.9 million tonnes.
From this the company said that only 3% was sent to for energy recovery producing just 3MW of electricity.
According to the company, considering that the annual waste production in Thailand grew by 9% year-over-year to 27 million tons in 2013, this largely CO2 neutral energy source has the potential to make a valuable contribution to covering the increasing energy demand of the Thai economy.
“Thermal waste treatment helps South East Asian countries establish a sustainable waste management concept while reducing their reliance on imported energy,” commented Gerhard Lohe, director of the product line Waste-to-Energy (WtE) at Doosan Lentjes.
“At the event in Bangkok we aspire to bring German thermal waste treatment technology together with local customers who require cost-efficient and environmentally-sound WtE solutions that reduce their waste volumes by up to 90% while maximising energy yields,” he added.
The summit in Bangkok represents a great cross-industry platform that aspires to discuss technologies, developments and ideas while outlining application and implementation concepts for the South East Asian economies.
