South West MEP Giles Chichester has said waste to energy plants are key components for sustainable energy programmes.
Giles gave the keynote address at the Biannual Congress of the Confederation of European Waste-to-Energy Plants held in Antwerp, where he said the development of waste to energy plants needed to be regarded as an important element of national sustainable renewable energy programmes.

He called upon UK waste to energy industries to take positive action to address the social, psychological and economic objections of the population to its development, which offered an important source of low cost and low carbon produced electricity for communities.
How about that? Different to incineration, negligible emissions... |
