  Across the Europe, just like mushrooms after the rain, edition of the international conference "Forum a modern waste incineration plants and plants producing alternative fuel (RDF, SRF, EBS ...) as well as local CHP installations adapted to their combustion. Power industry, which before was investing in biomass, also begins to consider the use of these fuels in their plants. The potential of use of waste for energy purposes in Poland is huge, due to the fact that large amount of waste is not developed yet. Consequently, on 3rd October 2013 in Warsaw, seminar "Energy from waste. Investments, fuel and technologies" was held. At that event we've cooperated with more than 70 entities and gathered about 130 participants from Poland and abroad. As in Poland waste-to-energy sector is still developing, experts from Korea, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Finland and Canada have shared their experience. Strategic Partners of the seminar were companies: GH Intertech, POSCO Engineering & Construction, Turbomach and Cross Wrap.  Company Ekokogenracja was a Technology Partner and in group of Technological Experts following companies were presented: Termomeccanica Ecologia S.p.A, abd VECOPLAN. Exhibitors: BMH Technology i Kaefer. It is also worth mentioning that Waste Away was a Sponsor of Coffee Brake. We invite you to read the official conclusions of the seminar, which as the official position of the industry will be submitted to the Ministry of the environment, Ministry of the economy and the relevant parliamentary committee. Meanwhile, we invite you to view photos from the seminar. More |

The result of the seminar, which was held on 3 October 2013 was the formulation of an open letter to the Minister of the Environment, Economy and Head of the Permanent Subcommittee of Parliamental Monitoring Waste Management. By the link: http://cbepolska.pl/pl/energia-z-odpadow.html?start=1 we present a list of demands and proposals which have been formulated as an official position of the Polish branch "Waste to Energy". Our suggestions concern to issues related to the possibilities of energetic usage of waste as well as shortcomings in the regulatory environment that hinder investment. In our opinion, they are worth taking into account when preparing the relevant legislative and support mechanisms. Presenting a list of concrete proposals for regulations, we can express the profound hope that specific ministries include them in its work on new regulations. More |
