The UK could witness the construction of a number of energy from waste (EfW) facilities in the near future.
That is if the predictions of a new study, which highlights Britain’s sustainable energy potential, are proved correct.
According to a study by the Centre for Resource Management and Efficiency at Cranfield University, energy from waste and biomethane are easily implemented systems and could provide substantial savings in greenhouse gas emissions.
The report entitled Renewable Energy, Landfill Gas and EfW: Now, Next and Future claims that up to 50 per cent of the UK’s fuel supply could be provided by such sources by 2020.
It proposes using anaerobic digestion facilities to create sustainable biofuel which could be used to power road vehicles, in line with the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive.
In addition to cutting the UK’s dependence on fossil fuels, developing the sustainable fuels market could create new jobs and business opportunities.
It also allows firms across the sector, such as those involved in bulk handling and distribution, to potentially expand their operations.
