Foreword
Multiplying GHG reduction technologies will be crucial
if the UK – and the world – is to achieve its decarbonisation goals. Renewable
energies currently provide a quarter of the world’s electricity, and are
expected to provide up to two thirds by 2040. However, as renewable electricity
becomes more readily available, the demand for electricity itself is also
increasing, further highlighting the need for a multi-technology approach.
Recently, renewable electricity has been mainly produced through large scale
technologies such as wind and solar. Biomethane and biogas have also made a
small contribution to the production of renewable electricity worldwide, and
thanks to the FiT and RO schemes in the UK.
This month, Veolia has opened three new Thermoelectric
Power Plants in Brazil. The plants are located at three of their sanitary
landfills, and are expected to produce 12,400 KW of renewable electricity using
the biogas resulting from the decomposition of organic waste. This wattage
should be enough to provide electricity and heating for around 42,000
inhabitants...
