1 WtE Oppertunities and challenges from a Swedish perspective SAARC webinar on Waste to Energy: Opportunities and Challenges Inge Johansson, Task leader if IEA Bioenergy Task 36 IEA Bioenergy, also known as the Technology Collaboration Programme (TCP) for a Programme of Research, Development and Demonstration on Bioenergy, functions within a Framework created by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

2 IEA Bioenergy TCP Mission and scope Increase knowledge and understanding of bioenergy systems => facilitate commercialisation and market deployment of environmentally sound, socially acceptable and cost-competitive bioenergy systems and technologies and to advise policy and industrial decision makers Activities International collaboration and information exchange on bioenergy research, technology development, demonstration, and policy analysis => focus on overcoming barriers to the near- and long-term deployment of bioenergy technologies. 10 Tasks & strategic projects, cover the full value chain from biomass feedstocks to final energy product. => reports/publications, workshops, webinars; increased focus on outreach & communication!

3 IEA Bioenergy Task 36 Integrating Energy recovery into solid waste management Working group for exchanging knowledge and best practice within policy, technology, research & innovation 2 meetings/year usually associated with a themed workshop and a technical visit. Some smaller studies/case studies that are published as task reports Pretreatment of waste for gasification Drivers and barriers concerning feedstock recycling Trends in the use of SRF Current members: France, Germany, Italy, Sweden New work programme is under development for Task36.ieabioenergy.com 3

A large proportion of customers are SME clients, accounting for approx. 30 % industry turnover.

4 RISE Present across the whole of Sweden. And beyond. 2,300 employees, 30 % with a PhD. Turnover approx. SEK 2.7 billion (2017). A large proportion of customers are SME clients, accounting for approx. 30 % industry turnover. Runs 100s of test and demonstration facilities, open for industry, SMEs, universities and institutes (RISE is owner and partner in 60 % of all Sweden s T&D facilities). 4

15 Success factors District heating Cooperation 15

16 Success factors Looks do matter 16

17 Challenges? What is the role in the circular economy? Picture source: Ellen McArthur Foundation 17

18 Challenges? A growing demand for fossil free energy production (district heating)- how to consider the plastic material in waste going to WtE? 18

19 Challenges? Residues/ashes 19

20 Challenges? 20

Summary WtE can contribute to a better waste management and provide (partly) renewable energy- but it is a part of the solution- not the solution in itself Co-operation towards common goals

21 Summary WtE can contribute to a better waste management and provide (partly) renewable energy- but it is a part of the solution- not the solution in itself Co-operation towards common goals important Learn from each other and others Openness towards the public A political will (at least not hinder) A legislative framework needs to be in place Do not compromise on safety/emissions 21
