Energy from Waste

Our dependence on landfill sites for the deposit of waste is increasingly recognised as unsustainable in the long-term, and legislation is now in place aimed at reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfill. The waste industry is therefore actively seeking innovative ways to use waste to generate energy, a new and rapidly growing area of the energy and utilities sector. New advanced thermal technologies and anaerobic digestion plants are being built, transforming the public perception of energy from waste as another name for incineration. Mace is at the forefront of helping local authorities to implement these systems.

The government’s Renewables Obligation Certificate scheme is incentivising traditional waste companies, as well as newcomers to the market, to invest in building energy from waste plants, many of which have been procured through the government’s PFI scheme.

Mace has been involved in this sector for some time and we have considerable experience assisting local authorities with the procurement of large waste and energy from waste projects. This expertise is vital given the complexities involved in planning, permitting and financing these projects. We also work in the private sector to support waste companies as they bid for projects with other local authorities.
