Thank you. Can you tell us where? We'll try to fix it up.

Dear Piotr. We don't want to do greenwashing, but to show that Waste-to-Energy is more than just burning waste. About the 700 tons of CO2 saved, it is because hydrogen substitutes diesel buses (fuelcellsworks.com/news/first-hydrogen-bus-arrives-in-wuppertal-hydrogen-plant-completed-in-february-2020/). WtE plants emit CO2, but the waste they treat is the same that would end up in landfills, causing the generation of methane emissions, which are more potent than CO2. WtE plants recover energy and materials from waste that, today, is not recyclable. However, the WtE is working to further reduce CO2 thanks to CCS technology. For what concerns road construction, a recent European study gives an overview of how the material recovered from the bottom ash can be re-used for road construction: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0956053X19307275

@@eswet-theeuropeansuppliers6606 Hydrogen is only green and desirable if produced from sustainable source of energy. Waste burning is NOT sustainable. So the your story about the hydrogen from WtE plants is simply a greenwashing. About emissions from landfills. Please do not repeat the misguided information. What generates landfill emissions is biowaste that is disposed there. But you know very well that more and more countries are moving away from disposing of this fraction, and soon all the biowaste fraction will need to be separatelly collected and treated in composting/anaerobic digestion, bringing benefits for climate, soil, water retention. Burnign this fraction is counterproductive... using energy to burn wet fraction. Moreover, whatever is put on the landfill must be pre-treated, significantly reducing the emissions from landfills. What you are saying is either the situation in countries where there is no separate collection of biowaste, or you speak about the situation from the past. Recent scientific study says about microplastics in bottom ashes from waste incinerators. No, we really cannot afford any more CO2 and microplastics in our ecosystems.

Thank you!
