The 5th edition of the Waste to Energy Congress, promoted by OPEN (Brazilian Association for Energy Recovery from Waste), takes place on November 12th and 13th in Florianópolis (SC).
The event aims to promote energy recovery from waste and seeks to present an alternative for the management of urban, industrial and agricultural solid waste. Over the two days, the congress will feature the participation of 35 speakers in 8 s.
On the first day, the opening will feature speeches by authorities from the State of Santa Catarina and the Republic. There will be debates with experts from national and international companies on strategies for developing waste-to-energy recovery in Brazil and worldwide, the potential of the CDR (Waste-Derived Fuel) blend, environmental licensing of waste-to-energy recovery plants, and the challenges of regulating biogas, biomethane, and waste-to-energy recovery.
On the second day, the congress will have the opening lecture led by Yuri Schmitke, president of ABREN, presenting the main results, the comparative report and the recommendations of the EUCD (European Union Climate Dialogues) project for public policies for the sustainable production of biogas and biomethane in Brazil.
Immediately afterwards, the s will discuss the role of the state in the anaerobic biodigestion of waste, the challenges of Gasification and Pyrolysis projects in Brazil, the generation of energy with Biogas and Biomethane, based on business models and strategies, and public policies for sustainable financing.
According to Schmitke, the urban waste is still one of the biggest challenges to be faced by public management in municipalities across the country. “Brazil generates 82 million tons of urban solid waste per year.”
“Around 60% is sent to landfills as a temporary alternative, but the volume of open-air waste is still large. Therefore, it is essential to discuss the most appropriate solutions for managing waste in an environmentally sound manner,” he explained.
The executive also pointed out that there are viable alternatives using waste to generate electrical or thermal energy, in addition to producing biogas and biomethane.
“These technologies have a very promising future in Brazil, and the congress will be an opportunity for government representatives and experts on the subject to contribute through the knowledge acquired to show the future of Brazil in waste management,” he concluded.
