    Waste-to-energy (WtE) is a waste treatment process that incinerates waste to produce energy in the form of electricity and/or heat. WtE is considered one of the most environmentally-friendly methods of dealing with residual waste. The alternative to this process is waste dumping or landfilling, both of which lead to long-term adverse impacts on the environment. The capture of CO2 from WtE plants has received increasing attention over the past decade. Particularly, waste contains a substantial amount of biogenic carbon content (i.e., carbon which is naturally part of the carbon cycle), the capture and permanent removal of which leads to ‘negative emissions’. Considering the important role of carbon-negative solutions in achieving ambitious decarbonisation goals, retrofitting WtE plants with carbon capture and storage (CCS) will be a major starting point. This study assesses the potential for generating negative emissions from the European WtE fleet by assessing its retrofitability with CCS based on a number of criteria: i) an acceptable distance for CO2 transport between WtE plants and CCS clusters, hubs and CO2 storage sites, ii) availability of on-site space for CCS retrofit at the plant level, and iii) an appropriate plant size to ensure that CO2 capture is economically viable. Results show that if the entire existing European WtE fleet was retrofitted with CCS (around 100Mt of installed capacity), negative emissions in the range of -50.5 to – 70.6 MtCO2 can be generated per year. When CCS limitations are taken into account, these estimates are naturally reduced, with an achievable range between -20 to -30 MtCO2/a. Note that if waste that is currently mismanaged and/or is going to landfill is instead redirected towards WtE+CCS, higher negative emissions can be captured depending on the evolution of future waste management policies in Europe.

  2. Three years on: Assessing power sector and renewable energy manufacturing policy in China since the announcement of dual carbon goals
    Author: Crowther, Herbert
    Published: October 2023
    Publisher:  The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, [Oxford]

    China's “Shuangtan” (dual carbon) pledge is the most consequential climate commitment made by the Chinese government. Announced in September 2020, it commits China to reaching peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. With the nature... more

    China's “Shuangtan” (dual carbon) pledge is the most consequential climate commitment made by the Chinese government. Announced in September 2020, it commits China to reaching peak CO2 emissions by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060. With the nature of the Chinese policy system, however, top-down pledges can be received with varying levels of actual policy implementation. This Paper considers how - three years on - Shuangtan priorities have been reflected in two key areas of Chinese energy/climate policy: the power sector and renewable energy manufacturing. In each of these areas, this Paper details specific post-Shuangtan policy changes. In particular, how these post-Shuangtan policy actions differ from their pre-Shuangtan predecessors, and what they indicate about the future of power sector and renewable energy manufacturing policy. In these changes, it also seeks to evaluate whether Shuangtan represented a 'critical juncture' in specific areas of Chinese energy/climate policy, and offers early thoughts on what the first few years of Shuangtan implementation indicate about Shuangtan's long-term implementation
