Waste Disposal, Bioenergy and Climate Protection

This has been confirmed in studies conducted by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (UBA), the Öko-Institut Damstadt and the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (IFEU) in Heidelberg. The motto of this year's exhibition and conference "Waste to Energy", which will be held at the Bremen Exhibition and Congress Centre on 10 and 11 December.

The main issues to be discussed will be "Climate Protection and Energy Efficiency in Waste Treatment and Bioenergy Production".

"Waste to Energy has established itself as the leading exhibition for energy recovery from waste and biomass," says Hans Peter Schneider, the Managing Director of Messe Bremen.

"Worldwide, Germany is considered to be a pioneer in the development and usage of innovative environmental technology.

"Accordingly, people come to Bremen from all over the world to see new plants and process engineering and gain information on experiences and market trends."

For the fourth time, industry experts, buyers, investors, and political decision-makers from throughout the world will meet at Waste to Energy.

The event organizers, Messe Bremen, are expecting more than 140 international exhibitors and 2,000 professional visitors to attend.

This year's programme will mainly be looking at the question of how to achieve environmental compatibility and sustainability when using waste and biomass. Speakers from UBA, Öko-Institut, IFEU and others will address this topic.

"The rapid rise in energy and fuel prices is moving the raw materials waste and biomass increasingly into the focus of bulk users and waste producers," adds Dr Ines Freesen, the Managing Director of Freesen & Partner GmbH, who is also responsible for the organisation of the programme.

"Waste to Energy shows how these raw materials can be used under consideration of climate protection, and clears up numerous prejudices that people hold against this technology.

"Waste fueled power stations that safely dispose of waste materials and produce electricity and steam in the process are, for example, subject to stricter emis-sion regulations than coal power stations. Biofuels can indeed be produced without negative impacts on food production, and can constitute an affordable, clean alternative to petrol and diesel."

Waste to Energy, which is held under the patronage of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety will be open in Hall 5 of the Bremen Exhibition Center on 10 and 11 December.
