Waste-to-Energy Technologies Market Analysis

The Waste-to-Energy Technologies Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 3% during the forecast period.

The market was negatively impacted by COVID-19. Presently, the market has reached pre-pandemic levels.

  • The factors driving the market include supportive government initiatives and efforts to reduce dumps and open burning of waste in both developed and emerging economies across the world.
  • However, the high capital and operation cost of waste-to-energy plants and the requirement of skilled staff to operate and maintain the sophisticated technologies may act as a restraint to the market's growth in the future.
  • Waste generation is overgrowing with the increasing population. The global waste is expected to reach around 3.4 billion tons by 2050. The direct relation between population and income level is expected to increase the waste volume. Daily per capita waste generation in developed and emerging economies is also expected to increase by 40%. The need to stabilize future waste may increase the adoption of waste-to-energy technology in the future.
  • Europe is one of the prominent regions to have waste-to-energy technology as it has a significant potential to reduce the region's dependency on gas imports while helping it participate in the efforts toward a carbon-neutral Europe.

Waste-to-Energy Technologies Market News

  • As of July 2022, the construction of Delhi's fourth waste-to-energy plant in Tehkhand, southeast Delhi, was nearing completion. According to a senior Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) official, the plant will generate 25 megawatts (MW) of power by utilizing 2,000 ton of municipal solid waste (MSW) discharged at the Okhla landfill site daily.
  • In April 2022, Doosan Lentjes, as a general contractor, was constructing one of Europe's most modern waste-to-energy (WtE) plants in Wiesbaden, Germany. The new plant, with a capacity of around 240,000 ton per year, can thermally treat residual waste and refuse-derived fuel (RDF) generated in the Hessian state capital in a dependable and environmentally responsible manner.
  • As of December 2022, Thailand aimed to build 79 waste-to-energy facilities with a total installed capacity of 619.28 MW in the next few years, according to the Pollution Control Department (PCD). Each facility will have a minimum of a 20-year operating contract, and many will be created with international technology or money.
