Episode Synopsis

Every fortnight the Burning Issue looks at different elements of the energy recovery sector, taking the starting point that while energy recovery has moved some waste out of landfill, where does the sector go from here?In this fourth episode of series two, the Burning Issue speaks to Selin Murat of Carbon8 on the developing market for carbon capture. The episode focuses on:The UK’s expanding EfW network currently emits about 11Mt/yr of CO2, which is “huge problem to deal with”A drive towards utilising residues from EfW is coming both for economic reasons and to reduce the environmental burden on landfill A slower economy is an “opportunity rather than a concern” as pushing more funding towards new technologies and clean energy solutions can create “thousands of new jobs and significantly lift economic growth”Carbon8 uses a recognized method that sequesters CO2 permanently.
