As wealth rises, so too does waste generation. For the waste to energy industry that makes for a supersized opportunity in Asia, and in nowhere more so than China.
Of the 20 most populous countries in the world, half are in Asia, including the two behemoths of India and China, each of which are home to nearly 1.5 billion citizens. By 2030 it is expected that population growth will account for another 400 million or so people, all consuming resources, all buying products, all leading increasingly energy-intensive lives, and all generating more and more waste.
Add to this scenario the demand for improved sanitation and living conditions, and the appeal of waste to energy is clear – clean waste disposal combined with energy generation. In many countries the ball is already well and truly rolling in the development of an extensive network of waste to energy infrastructure.
Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (LON:PHE) has developed the innovative PHE DMG® System, their proprietary thermal conversion technology. DMG® technology provides a mechanism to dispose of a wide range of waste streams by using them as feedstock that can be converted to EcoSynthesis Gas.
