Regenerative Energie
The first waste incineeration plants in Europe were built in the middle of the 19th century. Hygiene played an important role, because plagues had again and again hit many countries, cost numerous lives.
England and Germany were the first countries to install incineration plats for municipal solid waste (MSW). These were quite simple plants, with batch type feeding of the waste and also removal of the bottom ash. No heat was utilised, the flue gases were released into the atmosphere via tall chimneys, with no flue gas cleaning system.
Mainly due to financial constraints and the two world wars, it took another century for waste incineration to really start playing an important role in treatment of municipal solid waste. Beginning in about the middle of the 20th century, landfill space became scarce in some industrialised countries; at the same time the standard of living and thus the awareness for the protection of our environment rose. Legislation was put in place in many countries, paving the ground for thermal treatment of MSW.

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.
