Topics for 2027

  • Heat network development: making heat networks investable, the growing opportunities for waste to energy.
  • Technical developments and operational excellence: how AI, robotics, advancing technology and improving systems and processes are helping drive waste to energy plants to become high-efficiency energy centres.
  • Policy developments: how will Circular Economy, ETS and CCS policies affect the industry? Where do they align with EU policies and what are the long-term implications for decarbonisation, waste to energy and local authorities?
  • Feedstock: volumes, composition, flows and CV are changing. What does this mean technically and operationally, and what are we seeing in market and commercial responses?
  • Maximising energy value: PPAs, links to data centres, partnerships with industry and manufacturing. Is a more complex landscape emerging for energy offtake and how does that fit with asset value, regional growth and inward investment?
  • Ageing plants and those nearing their contract end: what next?
  • Market consolidation and investment trends: are we entering a phase of M&As and a changing market? What are investors looking for and what will this mean for the industry?
  • CCS and CCUs: can CCS be made affordable? Will CO2 utilisation partnerships emerge?
  • Decarbonisation: plastics extraction and recycling. Will recycling policies enable more stable market conditions?
  • Chemical recycling and waste to SAF: are pathways emerging to give investors and developers greater confidence?
  • Growth markets: developing waste to energy in new and emerging markets, business models and delivery solutions enabling high-quality waste to energy solutions to become more widely accessible.
