Presentation Description: Waste-to-energy (WtE) systems play a critical role in modern waste management and circular economy by diverting waste from landfills while serving as an efficient, low-emission energy resource. Sector coupling WtE with district heating provides additional benefits and facilitates decarbonization of both heating and electricity generation. This holistic approach to resource utilization has been successful across Europe and beyond. Denmark provides 5% of its electricity needs and 20% of its district heating needs by incinerating 74% of its non-recycled waste. Ramboll will present a global perspective in a local US market. Flue gas cleaning and neighborhood integration will be discussed. Case Study: Amager Resource Center/Amager Bakke, Copenhagen, Denmark oGreen-field Waste-to-Energy facility oCapacity: 2 x 280,000 tonnes of waste annually oEnergy output: 400,000 MWh electricity and 1,000,000 MWh heat per year
Keywords: Community Energy Planning & Sector-Coupling
