WHY ENERGY FROM WASTE?
Industry Perspective– A waste management solution– A waste recovery process– A cost saving
SEI Perspective– Renewable energy– Security of supply– Greenhouse gas abatement

TYPES OF ENERGY FROM WASTE
Mass burn Novel technologies
– Gasification, pyrolysis, etc. Anaerobic Digestion
– Organic fraction of waste stream
– Landfills

Case Study –Holsworthy Biogas Plant
Input 146,000 tonnes per year– Cattle, pig & poultry manure– Organic food waste
Output– 2.1 MWe/14.4 GWhe
– 15 GWhth to future DH system
– Digestate to fertiliser
