20 Oct 2022 --- Waste incineration is an unrealistic solution to the ongoing energy crisis, according to a report by Zero Waste Europe (ZWE). The organization dismisses recent claims by waste management associations that incineration could replace fossil fuel reliance and help end dependency on Russian gas amid the war in Ukraine. The report, commissioned to Equamonitor, found that energy generated by waste incineration would only displace around 1.1% of gas used by the EU.
