The feasibility of waste-fired Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plants will be illustrated by two cases in which industrial companies took the opportunity to replace fossil fuels by household (or similar) waste as energy source for their industrial production. The Thermal Power Station (TPS) in Runcorn (UK) is being developed as part of the Greater Manchester Waste contract. After completion in 2012, the TPS (2 x 87 MWth) will be processing up to 425,000 tons of high-calorific RDF. The TPS (WTE) is an example of how an economy of scale allows for a highly efficient supply of process steam and electricity to INEOS at one of the largest industrial sites in the UK.
The Nordic Paper WTE in Åmotfors (Sweden) combusts about 74,000 tons of medium-calorific municipal solid wastes (MSW) per year and is an example of how CHP can also be realized at a smaller scale (1 x 28 MWth). With a dedicated design that exploits plant flexibility, the neighboring energy consumers (paper mills, district heating and electrical grid) can be adequately served.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft
© Lexxion Verlagsgesellschaft mbH (6/2025)
This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
