Estimated Total Value of Projects (US$m)

AcuComm reported on 91 new waste projects in May 2015. This takes the annual

number (since June 2014) to 1,166, and the total overall since January 2013 to 3,134.

Incineration with energy recovery projects form the largest number in

May 2015, accounting for 32, or 35.2% of the total. This was followed by AD

projects (15 projects, or 16.5%) and recycling/waste processing (9 projects

each, or 9.9%.)

Incineration with energy recovery is also the leading facility type by estimated value, at

US$3,096 million, or 29.0% of the total. This was followed by waste processing with

US$1,216 million, or 11.4% of the total, and integrated facilities with US$864 million, or

8.1%.

Of the 91 projects listed in May 2015, 35 also reported an annual waste capacity.

This amounted to 3.3 million tonnes, equal to an average of 95,398 tonnes per

project, and an average of 298 tonnes per day per project.

WtE incineration was the largest facility type in terms of capacity, amounting to

1.8 million tonnes, or 53.7% of the total. This was followed by anaerobic digestion

with 0.6 million tonnes (19.6%) and integrated facilities with just under 0.4 million

tonnes (10.4%).

WtE incineration projects represented over 53% of reported new or planned waste project capacity in May 2015.

In May 2015, an estimate of annual power generation was available for 27 projects. This

amounted to 392 MW in total. Three quarters of this was from WtE incineration with most of the

remainder coming from gasification or anaerobic digestion.

Incineration amounted to 17 projects with total reported generation of 297 MW, equal to 17 MW

per plant. The most significant projects were a 90 MW biomass plant in Lithuania, a planned 50

MW biomass plant in Brazil, and a recently-operational 40 MW WtE plant in Shanghai, China.

WtE incineration continued to dominate the reported power generation of projects in May 2015.
