Renewable Power and Heat Generation from Municipal Solid Waste: Market Outlook, Technology Assessments, and Capacity and Revenue Forecasts

Waste-to-Energy (WTE) encompasses thermal and biological conversion technologies that unlock the usable energy stored in municipal solid waste (MSW) to generate electricity and heat. WTE facilities are integrated into broader waste management regimes aimed at preventing the use of landfills. By reducing waste volumes by 90% or more and avoiding methane gas emissions from landfill decay, WTE offers an attractive option to promote low-carbon growth in the crowded renewable energy landscape.In 2011, the world generated an estimated 2 billion tons of MSW. Population growth, urbanization, and rising standards of living are expected to drive this number higher, increasing global demand for WTE solutions. Already in the midst of scaling up capacity, growth in China is expected to shift the center of the WTE universe away from Europe to Asia Pacific. High upfront capital costs and attractive economics for landfilling, however, represent persistent barriers to wide spread adoption. Although more than 800 thermal WTE plants currently operate in nearly 40 countries around the globe, these facilities treated just 11% of MSW generated worldwide in 2011 compared to the 70% that was landfilled. Although combustion technologies continue to dominate the market, advanced thermal treatment (ATT) technology deployments such as pyrolysis are expected to pick up as diminishing landfill capacity improves WTE economics. Installments of biological technologies are also expected to increase worldwide.This Pike Research report analyzes the global market opportunity for WTE across three key technology segments: combustion, gasification, and anaerobic digestion. The report provides a comprehensive assessment of the demand drivers, business models, policy factors, and technology issues associated with the rapidly-growing market for WTE. Key industry players are profiled in depth and worldwide revenue and capacity forecasts, segmented by application and region, extend through 2022.
