Waste-to-energy infrastructure is at a strategic crossroads. As recycling targets rise and carbon pricing tightens, the economics, governance, and circular economy logic of waste management systems demand rigorous analytical foundations. This volume delivers the evidence base for every professional working in the sector. - Understand the technical foundations of thermal and biological waste conversion technologies, from grate incineration and gasification to anaerobic digestion and landfill gas recovery
- Analyze the economics of waste-to-energy investment across gate fee structures, energy market exposure, and public-private partnership concession models
- Discover how life-cycle assessment frameworks quantify greenhouse gas performance, air quality profiles, and resource efficiency across competing waste treatment pathways
- Evaluate regulatory architecture across the EU, US, and major Asian markets and its implications for technology deployment, emission compliance, and project financing
- Examine the governance design of extended producer responsibility, carbon pricing, and recycling targets as integrated instruments in waste hierarchy systems
- Interpret circular economy integration strategies for transforming waste facilities into multi-output urban resource recovery infrastructure
- Assess emerging pathways including chemical recycling, hydrogen production from waste, carbon capture at incineration plants, and critical mineral recovery from bottom ash and e-waste streams This book equips policy analysts, environmental economists, investors, and practitioners with the analytical tools to navigate the economics, policy, and technology dimensions of waste management at the scale demanded by net-zero transition imperatives. Whether assessing infrastructure investment, designing regulatory frameworks, or advising on circular economy strategy, this is the evidence base the sector requires.
