Training to members of government to educate them about best practices on waste management

The Global WtERT Council will be represented at COP27 by Prof. Mohy Mansour, Chair of WtERT, Egypt, Prof. Alex Godoy, Chair of WtERT-Chile and other WtERT members.

Mr. Werner Bauer, of GWC and WtERT-Germany was invited by Prof. Yong-Chil Seo, head of WtERT-Korea to present at the ISEE Conference of Waste Management Society in Seoul, ROK.

"Sustainable Waste Management: The Forefront of Innovation" was the topic under which Prof. Marco Castaldi's organising team gathered a wide range of presentations from around the world:

Since September 2022 you have two new means of communication in wtert.net. First, you can write comments on the monthly newsletter´s topic, secondly you can send direct messages to other WtERT-Members.

Now Grzegorz Lisak (Head of WtERT-Singapore) has been appointed as a member of EAPES.

First benefit is for nature! This platform, utilized by more and more international decision makers, will enhance a knowledge exchange on Material AND Energy Recovery Techniques, Tax Instruments AND Political Solutions. This finally helps to ensure the mitigation of GHG emissions. The most effective step is to concentrate on closing landfills for untreated waste and to overcome wild dumping.

During the past May 30th till the 3rd of June the IFAT 2022 witnessed nearly 120,000 visitors from across the globe.

Energy and metals recovery from urban wastes (waste-to-energy or WtE) is one of the key areas that can help address this issue.

On behalf of the German-Baltic Chamber of Commerce in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania e.V. and financed by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment WtERT Germany was to prepare a strategy paper for sustainable waste management in the Baltics and organize a workshop with clear recommendations and impulses.

In a Memorandum of Understanding, signed in Rabat on September 29th, 2021, the Bank and IRESEN resolve to strengthen their cooperation in the promotion of investments aimed at accelerating the country’s transition to green energy. The scope of the cooperation will cover a number of areas of common interest, including green hydrogen, renewable energy, smart electricity networks, energy efficiency, energy storage and e-mobility.

In co-operation with WtERT Canada, WtERT Brasil and WtERT Germany the GWC started a branding initiative for the global WtERT network.

On October 26th, the 5th International Training Workshop of Waste to Energy hosted by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and jointly organized by Zhejiang University host of WtERT-China and Zhejiang University of Technology was held online and concluded successfully.

With her very informative 16 minute youtube video Demetra Tsiamis brings technical information of waste management to the forefront of the public discussion. It is the first episode of Let´s Talk Garbage!

Courageous, persevering and full of joie de vivre

Detailed response of Prof. Peter Quicker (Founding Partner of WtERT-Germany) in Waste Management World to questions whether urban wastes can be "gasified" instead of "combusted"

For a research study which aims to develop a cost model for a local WTE plant in Turkey Professort Samet Ötztürk, Head of WtERT Turkey, is searching for data about operational and capitel costs of WtE-plants.

After months of hard work and dedication, WtERT Canada is delighted to officially announce the launch of the responsive design website of WtERT-Canada. Take a look at www.wtert.ca.

Survey about waste to energy technologies based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

The WtERT Brasil 2020 Report consists of two parts: Part I - ABREN'S Highlights in 2020, and Part II - ABREN'S Plans for 2021.

With legislation now in place enabling to direct waste from landfill to waste treatment, Brazil is looking at developing a number of energy from waste plants around key cities and with 36 mtpa required to be diverted from dumps or landfills by 2024, this is a sizeable potential market.

Brazil's government approved in December the country’s first urban solid waste tender for energy production, which is planned for 2021. The approval is a key step for making waste-to-energy (WTE) projects feasible in Brazil, which still does not have commercially operating WTE plants.

To all our supporters and collaborators: The Earth Engineering Center / CCNY wishes you a very peaceful holiday and productive 2021.
