Then representatives from Andusia and Eunomia will explore opportunities in the RDF export market over the next 5 years; followed by a session on EfW and its important role in supporting the circular economy; and panel discussions on project finance models and project contract structure.

Delegates will also have a choice of seminar streams covering subjects including Myth Busting: what is the secret of getting the Environmental Permit, business plan best practice for successful project delivery, developments in heat networks and gaining local authority planning permission.

Day Two – Operational aspects of successful EfW delivery

The second day kicks off with a talk by Technikgruppe Austria’s CEO Matthias Lukic on how data from EfW plants can be used to deliver enhanced performance.

Other sessions include: a discussion on Pollution control residues (APCr) and the ESA Protocol; a case study on the City of Birmingham’s waste strategy; expert opinion on new government policy and the NACEI (the Blue Book); a fire protection and prevention seminar; and a look at skills, training and diversity in the EfW industry.
