Energy from waste has seen significant growth potential in recent years as the demand for renewable sources of energy remains high on the agenda of government policies and legislation. With growing goverment support and demand for renewable and sustainable energy supplies for the future, demand is greater than ever and the potential in this industry sector continues to encourage an evolution of new processing methods and technologies to leverage the industries opportunities and current project developments. This brings us to SMi’s 5th Energy from Waste Conference where keynote speakers will be discussing the latest technologies, challenges and developments in this fast paced industry sector. The conference will focus on commercial opportunities that continue to exist and emerge from energy from waste and the regulatory and political frameworks which govern and encourage the industry sector’s development. The aim of the conference is to provide attendees with the opportunity to hear from experts from all aspects of the industry and discuss most important issues in this field through a mix of case studies and presentations. The conference gives speakers the platform to focus on the current developments, technologies, strategies and challenges facing the industry sector into the future. This is a growth market sector with significant opportunities for development as private companies, organisations and government officials are working to develop more efficient and sustainable energy solutions for companies and cities. It seeks to help delegates from the private and public sector to better understand and assess the current role and future commercial, economic as well as technical potential of energy from waste.
