Waste sector could meet half of key government carbon target according to research

- Research finds cost of carbon capture from EfW could be as much as 15% lower than the cheapest alternative
- By 2030, up to 5 million tonnes of carbon a year could be captured and stored from treating non-recyclable waste at EfW facilities across Britain
- Fifteen existing waste treatment sites are within 20 miles (30 km) of the government’s top five carbon capture clusters, offering substantial investment and employment opportunities across Britain
- Stable and high volumes of CO2 from EfW would underpin wider carbon capture infrastructure investment
